This is a drawing of two figures gathering wood. The image shows a standing figure with a large bundle of sticks gathered in their arms, while another figure is bent over, seemingly engaged in cutting or gathering more wood with a tool. There is a gnarled, leafless tree in the background. The scene is captured with fine lines, conveying an atmosphere of hard labor and rustic existence in a countryside landscape. The drawing is subdued and monochromatic, highlighting the figures and their activity.
