Description:
Black and white photograph of two uniformed police officers on either side of a non-compliant woman wearing a light-colored dress, a dark coat with a hat, and stockings. The policeman restrain the woman, who reacts to something outside the image. The policeman to her left is grasping the woman's proper left wrist as she pushes him away, her hand on his chest. A car with an open driver's side door occupies the left quarter of the image; two figures facing away from the action are visible behind the woman's proper left shoulder.
