Black and white sketch of a crowd of people. A man on the right wearing a long robe kneels on one knee. To his left there are multiple people; one man on the left wears a shorter robe and appears to hold a long thin object; some people look toward the left; some people point. A man on the far right wears a hat. A figure on the top-left appears to have wings. The background is gray.
