The drawing depicts two small nude male figures, possibly putti, sitting on a fountain. The figures have curly hair and are positioned on top of a fountain with a gargoyle spouting water to the left. The putti are sitting on what appears to be a shell or wave-like structure. The background includes some decorative swirls and lines suggesting foliage or architectural elements. The style appears to be classical or baroque-inspired. The drawing is monochromatic with shading in varying tones. The drawing is titled "Fountain with Putti Riding Dolphins".
