This drawing features an allegorical figure representing rage in dynamic motion. The figure holds a sword aloft with one hand and a shield with the other. Flowing garments suggest movement, while the stylized features emphasize a fierce expression. Next to the figure lies a lion, representing courage or ferocity. Above the figure, a small creature with wings enhances the theme of chaotic energy. The drawing is done in a detailed, classical style indicative of either etching or engraving techniques from a historical period.
