This is a drawing of an ancient cannon with three figures around it. The drawing features an old-fashioned cannon mounted on a wooden frame, complete with large spoked wheels. The cannon is positioned on a slight incline, suggesting it may be aimed or ready for firing. Three figures are visible; one is bending over the cannon as if inspecting or preparing it, dressed in historical attire, while the other two stand to the side, one of them appears to be holding a long spear or pike. The figures are casually rendered in a simple line style. The background is plain. There is a text at the bottom of the drawing, "Cum Privilegio Reg. Israel excudit."
