Español: Cabeza de animal de perfil, estudio anatómico

Un estudio a lápiz de perfil de una cabeza de animal, probablemente un perro o un zorro, con orejas grandes y erguidas, frente arrugada y mandíbula descubierta. El sombreado fino en trama y el pelaje suave y difuminado dan volumen a la cabeza sobre un fondo claro y levemente manchado.

Português: Cabeça de animal de perfil, estudo anatômico

Um estudo a lápis de perfil de uma cabeça de animal, provavelmente um cachorro ou uma raposa, com orelhas grandes e eretas, testa franzida e mandíbula exposta. O sombreado fino em hachuras e o pelo macio e esfumado dão volume à cabeça sobre um fundo claro e levemente manchado.
