This is a black and white historical photograph showing a protest or demonstration. The protesters are holding signs with anti-fascist messages and demands to free several individuals, including Quintanilla, who is described as a "great Spanish painter." One prominent sign reads "The Artists Union Demand Release of All" and lists several names including Quintanilla, Thaelman, Rakosi, Caballero, and Romain. The bottom of this sign declares "Down with Fascism." The protesters appear to be wearing light-colored clothing and hats typical of the era, likely from the 1930s during the rise of fascism in Europe. The image captures a moment of artistic and political solidarity during a turbulent historical period.
