There’s some stuff in the wikipedia article on it. Seems like it was meant to be a social critique - you can see that the people in the central column, close to the icon, seem to be better dressed, while on the side you’ve got more disheveled-looking folks. There’s also the uniformed guys on horseback, some of whom are beating people, I’m guessing this is meant to be officers/aristocrats mad that some filthy poor person got too close to them.
But yeah, the detail here is amazing.
