The image features a sketch of four figures. The left side shows two seated figures, while the right side shows one standing figure and one seated figure. The figures on the left are sitting side by side, with one wearing a hat. The standing figure on the right is dressed simply with a hat, and the seated figure next to them is a child. The sketch is done in a sparse style against a blank background.
