Description: | This image, primarily an initial sketch, is rendered in charcoal. The only completed part is the elephant's head, finished in black and brown ink with white highlights. Attendants, one trying to deter the beast with firecrackers, run for cover, some to each side, as the proportionally tiny mahout appears to have lost control. An outline of the Maharaja watching can be seen on the top right balcony. The building is merely ruled in and three lines running diagonally down from the Maharaja's balcony denote a barrier which is likely ro be a dividing mound between the opposing elephants.
