Artist, Russian, 1887 - 1985

The image depicts a goat-like figure on the left with elongated horns and a human profile with curly hair on the right. The drawing features abstract, sketchy lines and elements that blend recognizable shapes of a goat and a human face. Sprinkled dots and haphazard lines add texture to the composition. The figures appear to be interacting or in confrontation. The text "galli cha" is seen in the lower right area.
