The image features a whimsical drawing of an anthropomorphized creature, resembling a beaver, standing upright on its hind legs. It has a large, bushy tail and appears quite content, with a facial expression that includes a partial smile. The creature is holding up a scale—a simple balance with two plates hanging from a horizontal beam that is supported by a single point—akin to the type often associated with the symbol for justice. The scale itself is skewed, showing imbalance.

In the background, there's a minimalistic representation of a tropical scene including a couple of palm trees and an island, drawn with just a few sketchy lines.

At the top left-hand side of the image, there is some cursive handwriting that says "Therein in the Symposium to say" followed by a number "9724" near the top center. On the bottom left, it seems to be signed or inscribed with "1/2 once" or something similar. The drawing has a draft-like quality, with faint pencil lines visible outside the primary lines of the drawing.
