This is a drawing of a figure pouring liquid from one dish into another. The composition shows a nude figure with long, flowing hair, seated on a decorative structure resembling a stylized bench. The figure holds a dish in each hand, with liquid flowing from the upper dish into the lower one. To the left of the figure, there is an architectural arch framing a distant landscape with a small village or cluster of buildings. The word "TEMPERANTIA" is inscribed in the upper left. The drawing features intricate line work, particularly in the depiction of the figure's hair and the textures of the surfaces.
