A charcoal sketch on white paper featuring abstract figures. On the left, there's a roughly drawn figure with exaggerated facial features and a prominent necklace. In the center, a stylized rose with swirling lines for petals stands atop a thin stem. To the right, a character with a pronounced nose and squiggly lines for hair appears to be in motion, with arms outstretched. The initials "T D" are visible in the bottom right corner.
