Visual Summary

Brief Description

Dynamic ink drawing of a figure riding a shaggy beast, another figure running, and a floating head

Detailed Description

A black and white ink drawing depicts a scene with three figures and a large animal. In the center-right, a shaggy, wild boar-like animal with prominent tusks charges to the right. Its body is covered in dense, dark, flowing fur, which trails behind it. A figure rides on its back, facing forward, with hair or headwear also flowing backward. This rider holds a short, dark object. To the left of the boar, another figure appears to be running or flying alongside it, also moving to the right. This figure has long, dark, flowing hair, looks upwards, and holds a long, thin staff-like object that extends diagonally downwards. The figure wears striped garments. In the upper left corner, a disembodied head with a patterned headband floats, looking towards the action. The entire composition is rendered with energetic brushstrokes against a plain background.
