A vertically oriented etching in dark brown ink on beige paper depicts a cluster of figures huddled under umbrellas. In the lower center, a person in a densely hatched coat faces away from the viewer toward the crowd. To the left, a ghostly, unshaded figure stands in profile. Multiple overlapping umbrellas create dark, curved silhouettes above the group, while long vertical strokes in the background suggest a fenced structure.
