A collection of five pen-and-ink drawings on a single sheet of paper, depicting figures known as "wild folk" (homines selvatici) from European folklore and mythology.
1. Top Left: A profile of a wild man with long, wind-swept hair and skin covered in leaf-like or feathered tufts. He is walking to the right and gesturing upward with his right index finger.
2. Top Right: A smaller, hairy humanoid figure (possibly a wild man or an anthropomorphized ape) seen from behind, walking to the left while drawing a bow.
3. Center: A bearded wild man with hair covering his limbs, walking to the left. He carries a large wooden staff or pole diagonally across his chest with both hands.
4. Bottom Left: A wild man with leafy textures on his torso and limbs, walking to the right. He holds a small rectangular object in his right hand, which may be a book, a small box, or a musical instrument.
5. Bottom Right: A wild woman with long, flowing hair and bare breasts. Her lower body and legs are covered in leafy or scale-like textures. She is shown in a seated or kneeling posture, looking back over her shoulder toward the viewer.
