This is a drawing of a group of figures carrying a large object under an archway. The scene is rendered in monochrome ink with energetic lines conveying movement and struggle. The dominant element is a large, cross-like structure being carried by several figures. The setting features architectural elements including archways and a statue or artwork on the right-hand side. The use of shading creates depth and emphasizes the physicality of the scene.
