This is a drawing of a group of travelers waiting indoors while it rains outside. The drawing features several individuals seated and standing in a waiting area. To the left, people are sitting on benches. A figure in a tall hat stands in the center, gazing out through a window. Outside, rain is pouring down, and a person holding an umbrella struggles against the strong wind. The style is illustrative, capturing the dreariness of being stuck indoors during inclement weather. This drawing employs strong lines and shading to convey the somber atmosphere and the wet, blustery conditions outside.
