In the top panel, Merel Vosberg, wearing a field jacket and dark trousers, stands with her back to the viewer, drawing intricate circular patterns on a large stone wall. To the left, a large dark wolf stands, looking towards Merel, next to a person with dark skin and dreadlocks, wearing a cloak and tunic, who also looks towards Merel. In the middle left panel, a close-up of Merel's face shows her looking upwards and to the right with a thoughtful expression, holding a pencil and a small notebook. In the middle right panel, Merel's upper body is shown from the side as she leans forward, drawing on the wall with a pencil, while holding a notebook in her other hand. In the bottom left panel, Merel stands with her back to the viewer, holding a notebook, looking at the stone wall which has faint, complex patterns carved into it, and in front of her are more carvings that depict a full-body figure. In the bottom right panel, a close-up shows the intricate circular and linear patterns drawn on the stone wall, with several small circles representing celestial bodies.
