The image is a vintage, hand-drawn illustration of an animal, likely a species of Anoplotherium, a prehistoric mammal. The animal is depicted in profile, standing on four legs. It has a long, slender body, a relatively small head with a pointed snout, and a long tail. The drawing is done in a simple, somewhat naive style, with minimal shading or detail. The color palette is limited to shades of tan and brown. Below the illustration, there is text identifying the animal as "ANOPLOTHERIUM commune. Cuv." and the number "48.". The background is a textured, off-white or beige color, suggesting the illustration is on aged paper or parchment. The overall impression is that of a scientific illustration from a historical or natural history context.
