A vertical oval etching depicts a stone frog carved into a masonry corner, facing right with its mouth agape. The creature's bumpy skin is defined by fine, sketchy strokes, while dense, intersecting lines create deep shadows within its throat. In the background, light hatching traces the mortar between stacked stone blocks, revealing the cream-colored paper beneath and emphasizing the weathered quality of the architectural gargoyle.
