The drawing depicts the lower bodies of two flayed men. The left figure shows the front and back of a left leg and a right leg with the skin removed to reveal muscles and tendons. The right figure depicts the front and back of a right leg with the skin removed. The background of the drawing is a light-brown color with darker brown spots and lines. The drawing is rendered in brown ink and wash on aged-looking paper with a rough texture and visible signs of wear. The legs are drawn in a detailed and anatomically correct style, with visible muscles, tendons, and veins. The right leg of the flayed man on the right appears to be missing a section of skin and muscle on the upper inner thigh. There is writing in the bottom-right corner and a number in the center.
