This is a drawing of a human skeleton standing beside a rhinoceros. The drawing shows a detailed and anatomically accurate rear view of a human skeleton standing with its left arm extended. The skeleton is placed next to a rhinoceros, which is depicted with less detail and positioned slightly turned away. The background features a stone-like wall with an arched top. The drawing utilizes shading and cross-hatching techniques to highlight textures and depth, typical of an anatomical illustration.
