This is a drawing of a seated bison. The drawing features a stylized depiction of a bison resting, with its head gently inclined and eyes closed. The animal's body is outlined with simple, flowing lines, and its shaggy mane and fur are indicated by curly loop patterns. The minimalist approach, with sparse but expressive lines, emphasizes the serene presence of the bison, capturing its robust form and textured coat with economy of detail. The entire illustration is contained within a thin rectangular border.
