Study of a Bounding Animal
A shaggy quadruped in mid-leap, in brown ink
A single shaggy quadruped is drawn in brown ink in a lively bounding pose, its legs flung out to front and rear as if in mid-leap. The animal has a rounded body with a trailing coat of fur, upright pointed ears and an alert head marked by a dark round eye. The species is not certain, but it is caught in rapid, spirited movement. A collector's monogram stamp is impressed at the lower left.

Small shaggy animal leaping
The creature bounds toward the right, its forelegs and hind legs extended in a running gait and its long fur streaming behind. The head is raised and alert, with two upright ears and a dark, emphatic eye. Loose, energetic pen strokes convey the animal's motion rather than a precise anatomy.
