Architectural elements include a tall arched opening at the right, a curtained or recessed doorway at the left, and a rectangular framed structure near the center. Birds are sketched in flight in the upper space, and various draped fabrics and bundled objects lie among the people. The drawing uses fine, overlapping lines and crosshatching to render faces, clothing folds, and shadowed areas, producing a textured, sepia-toned appearance.
