This sketch shows four oddly shaped nude figures in a room with a wooden floor. One person is upside down, another is bent over with a big belly, a third stands with a surprised face, and a small dog lies on the ground. The lines are quick and wobbly, like a hasty drawing. The figures look exaggerated and almost cartoonish, but the artist used simple lines to make them feel real. The room is plain, with just a small square on the floor and a window up high.
