This drawing shows a duck wearing a tall black hat, a dark coat, and a checkered skirt. Its legs end in cloven hooves, and it’s carrying a round black sack. The duck’s beak is long, and its feet are pointed like a bird’s. The sketch looks like a joke—maybe poking fun at formal clothes or how people dress up. The artist signed it "M.L. 921," but the date on the paper says 1921. If you like weird animal drawings, check out Mikhail Larionov.
