This is a drawing featuring two figures interacting with an animal pelt. The artwork shows two muscular figures, minimally dressed, engaging with the pelt. One figure is facing the pelt and holding it, while the other figure stands behind, observing. The drawing is detailed, emphasizing the figures' movement and the pelt's hanging structure. The traditional style showcases precise anatomy and shading, creating depth. A tree trunk or pillar supports the pelt in the composition.
