A drawing of four figures in renaissance costume, rendered in varying detail.

The drawing in graphite on white paper depicts four figures rendered in varying detail in renaissance costume. On the far left of the page is a woman standing in profile facing left, her face turned toward the viewer. She wears a long, voluminous dress and long veil over her hair which trails behind her to her hips. To her right is a figure is sparse contoured detail, wearing a long robe. To the right of this figure is a man rendered in greater detail, standing in profile facing left-page. He wears a voluminous robe tied at the waist which ends above his ankles, exposing close-fitting leggings and slippers. He wears a hooded, brimmed head cover, and carries a sack over his right shoulder. To his right at the far right-page is a figure in sparse contoured detail facing away from the viewer, wearing a similar garment and holding a staff or cane in their left hand.
