National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a scene with fantastical creatures and figures. Two clothed figures are on the left, observing a dragon-like creature in the center interacting with two nude figures on the right. Various serpent and reptilian forms are around the figures. The background shows a stylized landscape with abstract forms and mountain features. The artwork features detailed line work for depth and texture.
