This is a drawing of a calendar-like arrangement with handwritten numbers and annotations. The drawing consists of two sections stacked vertically, each resembling a week with seven columns labeled with days of the week in German. Both sections are filled with large handwritten numbers from 1 to 5, and 7, arranged in a sequence. Zigzagging and wavy colored lines, primarily in blue and red, fill some of the columns adding a dynamic element to the structured layout. Numbers and mathematical notations, such as addition equations and total sums, appear at the bottom and to the sides. The words "Schuld aufgabe" are written vertically along the sides, and significant dates "31/12/74" and "1/1/75" are noted at the top and bottom respectively.
