Sketch of a Woman with an elephant and other animals on reverse

Cleveland Museum of Art

The sketch depicts a woman drawn in pencil on a piece of rough, beige paper with a torn edge. The woman faces left; she wears a necklace and large earrings. Her hair is pulled back, and she appears to wear a sari. A faint sketch of an elephant and another animal are drawn on the reverse side of the paper but are mostly not visible. The woman's image extends to the edge of the paper. The background of the image is a plain gray surface, possibly a table or other flat surface, that the paper rests on.
