This is a drawing of several figures gathered together in conversation. The drawing shows a group of individuals dressed in heavy coats and carrying backpacks. They are standing closely together, possibly engaged in discussion. In the background, shadowy figures and buildings are visible. On the left side, there are several smaller sketches of faces. The use of cross-hatching and strong contour lines give the work a dynamic appearance. This drawing is in the style of Théophile Steinlen.
