Sepia etching of a chaotic street fight: a woman raises her arms at left, a woman sprawls on the ground, and men with weapons struggle in a crowd.

And they are like wild beasts (Disasters of War, plate 5)

A sepia-toned etching from Goya's Disasters of War shows a chaotic street struggle. A woman on the left lifts her arms, a seated woman sprawls in the foreground, and armed men in tricorn hats thrust and grapple amid a tangle of bodies.
