The image depicts a scene of chaos and lawlessness as a riotous mob engages in the sacking and looting of the Saint-Lazare Convent. The composition is filled with action and intensity. In the foreground, we witness priests being harassed and attacked while desperately trying to protect their sacred space. Sacks and bags are strewn across the ground as individuals seize whatever they can lay their hands on. The gate leading into the convent stands wide open, symbolizing both vulnerability and invasion.
