A woodcut illustration showing a group of men in a state of violent disorder. In the center, a man is forced to the ground while being held by several others. On the left, a man raises a stick or weapon as if to strike. The figures are dressed in 16th-century style garments, including doublets and hats. The scene is set outdoors or in a courtyard at night, as indicated by the accompanying text.
