This is a drawing of a large, crowded scene with various animals and structures. The drawing depicts numerous animals such as horses, camels, birds, and an elephant in a densely packed group, appearing to move towards or board an ark-like wooden structure. The ark is detailed with rivets and some architectural features, with birds in flight and perched upon the structure. The animals are shown in dynamic poses, giving a sense of movement and urgency. The foreground is filled with animals, while in the background, more birds, architectural features, and other animals can be seen. There are a few human-like figures depicted with detailed clothing and expressions, guiding or gesturing towards the ark. This is in the style of a Renaissance artist.
