The image depicts a wooded area with a group of people. The viewpoint is from within the forest, surrounded by trees and foliage. The horizon is obscured by the dense trees in the background. The sketch features chaotic brushstrokes creating textures of leaves and foliage. The color palette is monochromatic, with black ink on a cream-colored background. In the foreground, two figures interact near a tree, while a group of people appear to walk along a path in the background, with other scattered figures throughout the scene.
