- Description
- A pencil sketch of a scene that is contained within a rectangle. The rectangle forms a thick, roughly shaded frame around the scene. In the immediate foreground of the scene there are silhouettes of six seated figures facing away from the viewer and looking towards a landscape. They look towards the horizon, where the sun is setting or rising. One of the figures in the foreground is not a human, likely a cat. Above the scene, outside of the frame is the number 17, circled.
