This dramatic painting depicts armed figures silhouetted in black against a vibrant, flame-like background of yellows, oranges, and reds. The composition shows several figures moving through what appears to be an urban setting, with a white colonial-style building featuring a balcony visible in the middle ground. The figures carry weapons and wear what appear to be military-style helmets and gear, suggesting a scene of conflict or uprising. The background includes touches of deep blue and turquoise, with palm fronds visible against the darkened sky. The painting's style combines sharp angular forms with fluid, dream-like color transitions, creating a sense of tension and movement. The dramatic lighting and color palette emphasize the confrontational nature of the scene, with the dark figures standing in stark contrast against the luminous background.
