This is a black and white illustration, likely a pen and ink drawing, depicting a fantastical scene. The central focus is a bizarre creature suspended in the air. It appears to be a composite of animal parts, with a horse-like body, but with two heads—one resembling a bird and the other a reptile. The creature has clawed feet and a long, thin tail. It's adorned with a ruffled, layered structure around its midsection, resembling a skirt or a series of overlapping plates. Below the creature, on a patch of ground covered in dense, scribbled vegetation, stands a small child. The child is dressed in a simple dress and appears to be looking up at the creature with a sense of wonder or apprehension. The ground is rendered with a lot of texture, suggesting a wild, overgrown area. The overall style of the illustration is whimsical and slightly unsettling, with a focus on intricate linework and exaggerated proportions. The image is framed by a rectangular border, and the number '82' is written in the upper left corner.
