Brief Description

Pencil drawing of an elephant with two scaled, dragon-like creatures beneath a flowering tree

Detailed Description

A pencil drawing on light-toned paper depicts a large elephant under a flowering tree, with multiple scaled, dragon-like creatures. The elephant, positioned centrally, faces right with its body in a recumbent or kneeling posture. Its trunk is raised and curled upwards, and it has large ears and a decorative line around its neck. Above and to the left of the elephant, a tree with a slender trunk branches out, displaying several large, simple five-petaled flowers and leaves. A prominent scaled creature, resembling a fish or dragon, rests on the elephant's back, its head near the elephant's raised trunk. This creature has a long, textured body with visible scales and small limbs. Another smaller, similar creature is situated near the elephant's front left leg. In the bottom right corner of the drawing, a third dragon-like head with an open mouth and horns is visible, seemingly detached from a body. The drawing is composed of clear, dark lines against the lighter paper.
