This is a drawing of a person and donkey interacting. The drawing depicts two individuals: one in the foreground struggling with a donkey that is rearing up on its hind legs and the other in the background riding a second donkey. A hat is seen on the ground near the first individual. The artwork is executed in a sketchy manner with clear outlines and minimal shading. The drawing conveys a sense of dynamic action as the individual attempts to manage the unruly animal.
