A sketch on beige-colored paper depicts a chaotic scene. A large group of nude figures are crowded on a boat with a curved bow. The figures are drawn in dark brown pencil and vary in level of detail. Most appear to be men. Their facial expressions indicate emotion. Some figures are standing, while others are crouched or falling. The boat appears to be moving through water. A figure stands at the back of the boat, steering or rowing. A second boat with a single figure is visible in the background. The sky is filled with cloud-like lines.
