This is a drawing of a gazelle. The drawing depicts a gazelle standing in profile facing to the left. The gazelle has a slender body and long, curved horns. The texture of the gazelle's fur is intricately detailed. The antelope is positioned on a ground setting with a sketch of foliage at its feet. The background is plain. The use of shading emphasizes the musculature and grace of the animal. The drawing is labeled "Gazel" at the bottom, and has a subtle border around the edges, numbered "III" at the top right corner.
