This is a drawing titled "Gula". The image depicts a figure draped in flowing garments, holding a goblet high in one hand, and a basket in the other. Atop the figure's head is a fantastical creature with wings. Beside the figure, a boar is depicted, feasting on items on the ground. The drawing suggests themes of indulgence and consumption, often associated with the sin of gluttony. The composition is intricate, with detailed line work providing texture and form to the garments, the boar, and the mythical creature.
