A vertically oriented watercolor and graphite drawing depicts a multi-level wooden and stone building where people with light skin tones gather. Below weathered stairs, a woman kneels while others gesture near a central man and two barrels. A figure stands in a doorway, and a dog runs nearby. To the right, stone arches open toward light. The scene is finished in muted brown tones with white highlights across the aged architecture.
