Black chalk on vertically oriented gray paper features two distinct sides. On the left, sketchy figures in tunics occupy a scene; one raises an arm while another hunches over a fallen sword. On the right, a detailed study depicts a woman's head facing left with downcast eyes. A red numeral nine marks the top center, while small circular stamps and rough, deckled edges frame the composition.
