Two large drawings of crabs are depicted, surrounded by smaller shells and objects. The color palette consists of soft browns, blues, greens, reds, and beige. One crab has a spiky shell and long legs, while the other has elongated, slender legs and a round body. Various shells are scattered around them, including a small blue shell, a spiral shell, and two open clam shells. The scene is encased within a small oval border with the Roman numeral "XXXVI" on the right side.
