A watercolor and pencil sketch of two men that are crowched down between two donkeys. The man facing forward is painted the most in the entire drawing. He is holding his hand infront of him and speaking with it, while holding a stick in the other and leaning on it. His face is covered in dark shadows, and his body is painted pink and purple shades. The man he is facing is turned towards him and has a hand in the air, he is the speaker. The two donkeys face one another, as if they hide the secrets of the two men from the rest of the world
