This sketch shows three figures in motion, likely traveling. One person—maybe a man—holds a staff and walks ahead, dressed in loose robes. Behind him, a woman carries a small child, her cloak flowing as she steps into a boat. The water is rough, and another boat with a round shield floats nearby. The artist left some lines sketchy, almost like a quick draft. The figures look like they’re moving fast, with quick strokes and little detail in their faces.
