Artist, Spanish, 1881 - 1973

There is a drawing of figures surrounding a large reclining animal. The drawing shows a group of individuals interacting with the animal. The composition is linear and minimalist, using fine lines to depict the figures and their surroundings with clear outlines. The scene is detailed, emphasizing the interaction between the figures and the animal, and set indoors with architectural elements visible in the background, such as windows and possible drapery. The figures' expressions and postures suggest a narrative or action taking place, adding a dynamic quality to the image.
