Composition in black and white. Contour lines, parallel, circular and shaded. Anta representation occupying almost the entire area support against white background. The animal is in profile standing to the left. He's with his head bent down, looking up eyes looking at the floor and has the front leg slightly flexed and further on the left. Your skin is represented by parallel lines that define volume, seeing yourself on the back three circular areas suggesting swirl of hair.
