This is a drawing of various animals in a natural setting. The scene depicts canines, a bear, deer, birds, and felines gathered together. At the center, a lion is surrounded by other animals such as a bear, foxes, and a possibly a leopard. A rooster and a duck are in the foreground, with a branch and leaves framing the scene. Fine lines create texture in the animals’ fur, feathers, and surrounding environment.
