This is a drawing of a chamois. The image shows a chamois standing on a slight incline in profile with its head turned slightly to the left. The drawing displays detailed fur texturing and light and shadow across the body. The chamois is positioned with one foreleg and hind leg lifted. The background is blank. The border and label "chamois" at the bottom give it a scientific illustration look. The drawing uses monochromatic tones.
