This is a drawing of a figure thrusting a sword into a document labeled "Constitution." The scene shows a character stabbing the ground with a sword, piercing a paper with the word "CONSTITUTION" written on it. The figure wears a pointed hat that obscures its head. The composition suggests movement with clothing and lines indicating motion, while shadows and shading add depth. Fine lines and hatching create texture and intensity.
