This is a drawing of various animals, including a wolf and several antelope-like creatures. The composition is a study sketch on paper depicting various animals. The largest figure in the image is a European wolf, rendered in pencil and accented with brown watercolor. Surrounding the wolf are sketches of antelope or similar horned animals. The sketches vary in detail, with some labeled by hand. The use of watercolor and pencil lines suggests quick and observational techniques often used in field sketches or studies.
