A horizontally oriented drawing in brown ink and wash depicts figures gathered around Decius Mus on an ornate bed, all with light skin tones. To our left, a soldier in a plumed helmet gestures toward him. In the foreground, two men sit on the ground. To our right, a woman carries a child. Densely sketched soldiers and banners fill the background, the scene rendered in varied brown washes.
