This is a drawing of an abstract scene involving a tree and swirling figures. It depicts a composition with swirling lines and figures entangled in and around the branches of a tree. On the left, there is a group of figures falling or seated, with gestures. In the background, there is a line of upright forms. The swirling motion throughout the composition suggests intensity and turmoil, rendered in a monochromatic palette emphasizing contrast between light and dark areas.
