This is a drawing of a scene featuring skeletons and distressed people. A ghostly figure in white hovers in a chaotic street setting. In the foreground, individuals are collapsed, with one on the ground and another holding a crucifix. Skulls are shown, one being used as a pouring vessel. The backdrop includes an alleyway with fading walls, and a figure seems to be falling off a building. Shadows and texture contribute to the unease, along with the somber appearances of the individuals.
