A vertically oriented drypoint in sketchy lines depicts a group gathering in an indistinct space. On our left, a figure bends deeply. Centered, a woman in a headscarf and apron leans over a low surface, surrounded by several lightly rendered figures. To our right, a child stands in profile, holding a rectangular object. Minimal vertical lines rise behind them. An artist signature is etched in the bottom right corner.
