This is a drawing of a rural scene with two donkeys and a cart. In the foreground, there are two donkeys standing, tethered. They have shaggy coats and expressive eyes. In the background, there is a cart with a large spinning wheel. There are stylized and simplified forms representing figures leaning against the cart. The drawing style emphasizes line work and texture, creating an intricate pattern with crosshatching and shading.
