The image shows a drawing featuring a partial view of two individuals. On the right, a person is visible from the shoulders up, positioned inside what appears to be a small window of a large, horizontally-oriented basket-like structure. This individual has distinct facial features, including wide eyes and a bulbous nose, and wears a pointy hat along with a textured, checkered garment. Next to this person, there appears to be an object resembling a plate or circular item. On the left side of the image, another person is partially visible, crouched down inside a similar window, but their specific features are less distinct due to the sketch's shading. The surrounding structure gives the appearance of being constructed from tightly packed, rounded bundles. Above, there is a background with lighter lines indicating structures and figures that resemble an elevated bridge with people walking on it. The rest of the background is filled with faint lines suggesting supporting structures or bridges.
