Brief Description

Pencil sketch on light brown paper: an elephant, rider, and running figure with a spear

Detailed Description

A pencil sketch on light brown paper depicts an elephant with a rider and a running human figure. The large elephant dominates the left and center of the composition, shown in profile facing right, with its legs extended as if in a powerful stride. A small figure sits atop the elephant's back, holding a stick or goad. The elephant wears a simple saddle or blanket with geometric outlines. To the right of the elephant, a smaller human figure runs in the same direction, also in profile. This figure wears minimal clothing, possibly a loincloth, and holds a long, thin object resembling a spear with a multi-pronged or star-shaped tip, pointed forward. The drawing is rendered with simple, clear pencil lines, showing no background elements.
