The topmost part of the drawing displays a keyhole escutcheon adorned with stylized flowers and leaves. Below it, there is a depiction of a similarly intricate handle, also with floral motifs and scrolling designs. On the right side, a narrow side view is included. The drawing appears technical, possibly intended as a design blueprint, with measurements indicated at the bottom.
