This dramatic black and white lithograph by Adolphe Mouilleron, titled *Nachtelijk straattafereel met wanhopige vrouw en neergevallen man* (Night street scene with desperate woman and fallen man), depicts a woman standing on a street in a distressed posture, her arms outstretched, while a group of people lay unconscious or dead around her. The scene, created between 1848 and 1862, is set in a dark, shadowed alley and appears to depict the aftermath of a violent event, which would likely have resonated with viewers of the time due to the turbulent political atmosphere of the mid-19th century. The artwork, currently in the Rijksmuseum, measures 447 mm high and 314 mm wide.
