A horizontally oriented black ink etching depicts three figures in dense cross-hatching gathered around a glass-topped display case. On the left, a bearded man with glasses leans forward, peering intently into the case. Another face emerges from deep shadows behind him. To our right, a figure wearing a wide, dark hat cradles a large white bundle. Heavy, dark shadows create strong contrast, while backwards text appears in the background window.
