The image shows a line drawing of four figures. The figures are sketched from the side, sitting down. Some figures face left with extended arms, while the figure on the left faces them. Facial features are minimal, with simple lines for eyes and noses. Long hair or head coverings are indicated by lines down their backs. The figures are unclothed, with no additional attire. The background is blank on lightly tinted paper with faint age spots.
