Two horizontally oriented works depict a group gathered under a dramatic, clouded sky. The upper graphite drawing features energetic hatching and seated figures. The lower mezzotint is predominantly dark-toned with high contrast. Hunched, silhouetted figures gaze upward from a dark landscape as light rays pierce the clouds. In the center of the lower print, one person raises an arm. Below, an inscription reads "glory be" beside a signature.
