This is a drawing of a human figure grappling with a canine creature. The drawing depicts a nude figure, with flowing hair, engaged in a struggle with an upright, wolf-like animal on a small piece of ground surrounded by shrub-like forms. The lines are delicate and precise, indicating careful attention to anatomical detail and proportion. The background consists of faint text showing through from the reverse side, which seems to suggest that this is a page from an old illustrated manuscript or book.
