This is a drawing of three wild men armed with spears and a shield. The artwork features three figures with exaggerated features, covered in curly hair, brandishing large spears and a shield, while a small animal is at their feet. The wild men have thick, swirling, vine-like hair enveloping their entire bodies, blending into their bushy beards and eyebrows. One figure holds a long flag atop a spear, and another appears to leap at an angle. The figures' expressions are intense, and their stance is dynamic, giving a sense of movement and energy.
