The line drawing shows five individuals from the waist up, clustered together. Their positioning suggests they are interacting, with varying facial expressions. The individuals have different hair styles and are dressed in draped garments resembling robes. There are no jewelry or objects in their hands. In the background, tree branches and foliage are sketched above the group, hinting at an outdoor setting.
