Image description

The drawing is a study for the costume of a mounted masquerader, with an elephant's head, ragged ears, a curving trumpet on top of the head, long narrow wings hanging down from the shoulders, a pot belly, and a curly tail. A wind instrument is integrated into the trunk, and it is likely that the whole costume was a bagpipe, with the bag contained in the belly and the drone over the head.
