This is a drawing of two figures in a pastoral landscape. The scene depicts one elder figure wearing long robes, gesturing towards a younger figure who appears to carry a sling, with a bag hung over his shoulder. The ground beneath them is slightly hilly, with trees and hills stretching into the background. The elder figure's demeanor seems guiding or instructive, while the younger figure appears poised for action or movement. The background features sparse trees and shrubbery, suggesting a serene setting. The drawing includes text at the bottom.
