DescriptionOrzoco’s depiction features a mass of civilian troops while three leaders or Zapatistas tower over them as they survey their men. Wearing similar uniforms, the facial expressions between leaders and their followers vary greatly. Weary with eyes lowered under a sea of sombreros, the men press onward as they are herded under the close surveillance of their maniacal-eyed supervisors.
