The image consists of two objects: an oval-shaped container and its lid, displayed in a sketch format. The top object is a side view of a plain, oval, metallic container, while the bottom part shows an engraving on the lid depicting a scene with a figure and a setting, potentially on water with a boat. The color palette is monochromatic, with various shades of gray as it appears to be a pencil drawing on a light beige background. The container is positioned at the top of the image, with the lid below to show the engraved scene. The label and year "1904" are inscribed in the bottom left corner of the sketch.
