Visual Summary

Brief Description

Ink drawing of a muscular, grimacing figure in flowing drapery, holding a long, thin object overhead

Detailed Description

A full-length, black ink drawing on light-colored paper depicts a muscular figure. The figure stands facing forward, with its body angled slightly. Its head is bald, featuring a furrowed brow, wide eyes, a broad nose, and a grimacing mouth revealing teeth. A short beard and mustache frame its face. The upper torso is bare, showing a muscular build and a prominent belly. The figure's right arm (viewer's left) is raised high and bent at the elbow, with a clenched fist holding a long, thin object that extends upwards and curves. The left arm (viewer's right) is bent at the elbow, with the hand open, fingers splayed, and a bracelet visible on the wrist. Loose, flowing drapery or sashes wrap around the figure's lower body and legs, suggesting movement. Both ankles are adorned with anklets. The drawing uses bold, expressive ink lines against a plain background. In the top left corner, the text "17EP11" is visible. In the bottom left corner, the text "NA 3332 7.E" appears. In the bottom right corner, the text "NIO - THE GUARDIAN" is present.
