This is a drawing of a mandrill. The drawing features a detailed representation of a mandrill using black ink with intricate linework to demonstrate the creature's fur, face, and limbs. The mandrill is depicted in a side view, crouching or sitting on all fours, with particular attention given to the textures of its fur and facial features. The background is plain, allowing focus on the bold and stylized depiction of the animal. The artist's signature can be seen below the mandrill on the right side.
