This is a drawing of a nude figure holding a sword with a dog beside them. The image depicts a central nude figure standing on a small platform or disk, holding a sword in one hand while clutching a draped piece of fabric in the other. The figure has flowing hair and appears to be gazing forward with a contemplative expression. To the left of the figure is a dog, sitting and gazing up towards the human figure. In the background, there is a town or castle-like structure, with a series of turrets and walls, perched on a landscape bordered by water. Above the scene, billowing clouds frame the character. The overall composition is framed in a diamond-shaped border.
