This is a black and white drawing with a dark, eerie atmosphere. The scene depicts a steep hill leading up to a small, round building with a conical roof. The building has a few small windows and appears to be lit from within. At the base of the hill, there are several spindly, spider-like creatures with long legs and bulbous bodies. They seem to be scurrying or crawling across the ground. A few broken, pointed objects, possibly stakes or remnants of structures, are scattered around them. Behind the building, a plume of smoke rises into the sky, suggesting a fire or some other source of combustion. A bare, twisted tree stands silhouetted against the smoky background. The overall style is reminiscent of a woodcut or etching, with strong contrasts and a sense of foreboding. The drawing is framed by a yellow border.
