The work depicts a dense crowd of anonymous faces, emphasizing the individual's place within the anonymity of a large group. The etching's detail in the faces highlights the unique emotions and expressions of each person. The overall effect is a powerful and poignant commentary on the human condition, often seen as a precursor to similar themes explored in 20th-century art.
