Archers Shooting at a Herm, Triumph of Bacchus, and Other Studies

Pen and brown ink with brown and gray wash on tan paper shows a crowd of nude, muscular figures. At top, a bearded man rides a horse-like animal among companions; below, figures tumble and strain in overlapping poses. Along the lower edge, bodies twist together around a standing nude figure seen from behind.
