This is a drawing of a covered cart being pulled by a donkey on a cobblestone road. The cart has a draped cover over its frame, with an animal, possibly a dog, at the rear. In the background are building facades, giving context to the street setting. The artist has used detailed line work and shading to bring the scene to life.
