This is a drawing of an animal resembling a hyena. The drawing features a creature with a robust build, a shaggy mane running down its back, ending in a bushy tail, and fur illustrated with intricate line work. The animal is in profile with its head turned slightly towards the viewer, showing its pointed ears and sharp gaze. The body is marked with darker stripes, adding contrast to the coat. The drawing is executed in a monochrome style with fine lines to create depth and form. Below the drawing, the word "Loucarvier" is inscribed, accompanied by the Roman numeral 'VII' in the upper right corner above the creature. The drawing style and detail suggest a scientific or naturalist illustrative purpose.
