This is a black and white drawing of a group of people traveling with a horse and cart filled with personal belongings. The scene depicts several figures in transit, with the cart heavily laden with items. The background includes a barren tree, barbed wire fence, and telephone poles. The expressive faces and dynamic lines capture the tension and hardship of the moment.
