Black chalk on yellow-tan paper creating a hazy scene of five figures attending to a bust on a pedestal. Two nude figures on the left hold a garland while another figure on the right sits below the pedestal, turning to look at them, trumpet in left hand. Another nude figure on the left holds something over the bust's head, while, on the right, a winged figure in a flowing dress smiles, reaching for the bust.
