A pencil drawing of a plump, feminine-presenting gnome in Victorian/gaslamp fantasy garb, standing facing the right with a pack on her back, a concerned expression on her face, a map in her hands, a winged snake draped around her shoulders, and – unnoticed – a ghostly masculine-presenting gnome whispering to her at her back. The background is filled in lightly with the shapes of foliage and bare tree limbs, with spiraling lines of wind or energy urging her forward.
