This drawing depicts two male figures in various poses. The figure in the foreground is bent forward, with his head down and arms outstretched. The second figure stands behind him, with one arm raised above his head and the other resting on the first figure's back. Both figures are rendered in black and white chalk on gray paper. The drawing appears to be a study for a larger work, with loose lines and sketchy details. The artist's use of chalk creates a sense of movement and energy in the figures.
