Description
One man chases another up a spiral staircase. The pursuer pauses and looks up tentatively while the fugitive with his gun at the ready hides on a darker, higher step.
This illustration appears on the fifth plate of a series called “Versuche auf Stein mit Pinsel und Schabeisen” (Experiments on stone with brush and scraper), consisting of six lithographed plates.
The caption reads in the original German: Die Verfolgung.
