This is a drawing depicting a nighttime scene by a riverbank. The central image shows a figure in a flowing white gown descending steps near a body of water. In the background, there are bare trees and an architectural structure illuminated by moonlight. Shadows and light are used effectively to create a mysterious atmosphere. The borders around the main image include sketches of birds, floral motifs, and whimsical figures.
