Elephants in Combat

Pencil drawing on aged, yellowed paper with darker spots and visible creases. Two elephants face each other, bodies overlapping. Each elephant has a large ear, long curved tusk, and long tail. The elephant on the left faces right; its tail curves up and to the left. Its head is lowered with the tusk pointing down. A figure sits atop the elephant wearing a hat; they hold an object in their left hand. The elephant on the right faces left; its tail hangs down then curves up at the end. A figure also sits atop this elephant; only their left arm is visible. A vertical line down the center of the paper separates the two elephants. The background is plain and off-white.
