The image shows a crouching person in ruins and debris. The individual is hunched over, with their head resting on their knees and facing away from the viewer. Their facial features are obscured, and they have dark, pulled-back hair. The person is dressed in a simple garment, possibly a long-sleeved robe or loose shirt. The surrounding area is filled with rubble and broken structures, including a crumbling wall and scattered debris. Smoke billows in the background, and there are no visible accessories. The drawing is signed by the artist in the lower right corner.
