This is a drawing of a group of figures gathered around a rustic, thatched building. The scene captures a busy moment with a variety of characters engaged in different activities. To the left, several people are gathered outside a large wooden barn or structure. Some individuals appear to be involved in a transaction or social interaction, while others are working or carrying goods. A person on horseback is depicted on the right side, wearing flowing garments. They stand next to a large, bare tree that occupies the right side of the image. There is text in the upper left corner of the image.
