Untitled: (elephants moving blocks of wood, recto); (procession or crowd, verso)

The image is a two-panel composition. The top panel shows two elephants standing on a wooden platform, each with a man sitting on top. The elephant on the left is larger and holds a large block of wood with its trunk. The elephant on the right faces right. The men on the elephants are shirtless and wear head coverings. A third man stands behind the elephants on the right. The bottom panel depicts a large crowd of people gathered on a street. The crowd is dense and faces various directions. Some individuals hold umbrellas. The street has several horse-drawn carriages and carts. Buildings line the street, including one with a distinctive pointed roof. Trees are scattered throughout the scene. The sky appears clear. The image is in sepia tone.
