Pencil sketch of a crowded bus interior with numerous faces and figures overlapping in a confined space, viewed from the perspective of the bus entrance. The drawing includes annotations and calculations on the margins, suggesting it's a preparatory work. A sign reading "HATS STOP" is visible inside the bus, indicating a possible advertisement or destination. The sketch is detailed with shading and contour lines, capturing a sense of movement and bustle.
