Pencil sketch on off-white paper. A woman in a long dress and shawl peers out a window from behind a curtain or blinds. She stands with her back to the viewer. Two children stand behind her, one holding a tray. The scene appears to be indoors. Handwritten text at the bottom reads: "Mrs Pottles can't abide a crowd, I determines to see the fireworks from the top of her house".
