A vertically oriented drawing depicts a siege against a high stone wall with dark, energetic lines. On the right, figures gather atop the structure, while others plummet downward. Centrally, a man is suspended mid-air. In the foreground, numerous figures with light skin tones wearing simple tunics brandish long spears and poles, pushing toward the wall's base. The sketchy composition is rendered in black ink on light paper, capturing a moment of intense conflict.
