This is a drawing of simple figures in various positions. The drawing consists of three outline figures engaging in different dynamic poses on a plain background. Each figure is labeled with a term describing their action or position. At the top, a figure is depicted horizontally with arms extended upwards. In the middle, a figure leans against a vertical surface. At the bottom, a figure is upside down with limbs in motion. All figures are rendered in a minimalist style with little detail beyond the basic outline.
