A charcoal drawing on beige paper, titled "Hope and Despair II" by Ernst Barlach. Three people are present: a kneeling figure in the center with their right knee on the ground and left leg bent, wearing a long robe or tunic with sleeves, and short hair, looking to the left with a worried expression; on the right, a figure with their head tilted back with an open-mouth expression and their right arm raised to their forehead; on the left, a figure hunched over with their head and back to the viewer, covered in a large garment with folds and shading. The background features shading and lines suggesting a landscape with hills or mountains.
