Opis obrazu
This is a drawing of a winged figure extending one arm forward and holding a rod in the other hand. The sketch presents a figure in a dynamic pose with defined musculature. The figure is drawn in an anatomical style, with visible muscle definition and slight shading to indicate form. The wings are partially sketched. The drawing uses fine lines to outline the figure against the blank background.
