A horizontally oriented watercolor and graphite drawing depicts figures in a stone ruin. To the left, a family with light skin tones and goat-like lower bodies sits near a goat. To the right, six winged children with light skin tones dance while holding a flower garland. Foliage-covered stone arches reveal a light blue sky and a distant statue on a pedestal in the background.
