Brown ink drawing on off-white paper of a chaotic scene. A woman in a long robe stands on the left with arms outstretched. To her right, a group of men are fighting. One man holds a shield and lunges forward. Behind him, a man holds a club-like object over his head. Another man on the right wears a helmet and brandishes a sword. A man in the center falls to one knee. A man on the right edge appears to wear armor and lunges forward. The background is minimal, with simple lines suggesting stairs. The drawing depicts "Assassination of Tiberius" by Théodore Géricault.
