This drawing features a circular central image surrounded by blank space. Inside the circle, there is an illustration of an architectural setting with arches and columns. Two figures are depicted within this setting: one sitting on a block marked "Acto 122 UX," and the other standing and gesturing towards the seated figure. The drawing is rendered in a monochrome palette with shades of a single color. Curvilinear and decorative motifs adorn each corner outside the circular frame.
