This is a detailed drawing depicting a coastal scene with swine charging into the water. In the background, there is a walled city by a body of water. In the foreground, swine are rushing into the water, while two figures seem distressed on the rocky landscape. To the left, a figure with a halo and two others are gesturing towards the swine. The city features towers and architectural elements, with a lightly sketched sky. The artwork uses line work to convey movement and emotion, directing focus to the swine heading towards the water.
