This is a drawing of a scene in a wooded area featuring elaborate vegetation and an animal. The drawing features intricate detailing of a lush landscape with abundant tall trees and verdant leaves. In the foreground, there is an animal beneath a seated woman holding a child on its back. A cloaked figure stands next to them. Above them, a canopy of diverse plants forms an arch.
