This is a linear drawing of a wooden structure with a bench. The drawing includes straight lines forming a shelter or canopy made of wooden beams and a slatted top. There is a bench-like seat across the width of the structure. The sketch features two figures near the bench. The lines are bold and unsteady, creating a simple and minimalistic composition.
