Amherst College Olio, snake attacking plaid-clad chap

Pen drawing, American

A large black snake coiled around the body of a white man with its mouth far apart in front of the man's face. He is wearing a plaid suit. He is fighting back with a stick in his hand. The snake's body extends into a cave behind with the initials: "F.C." written above the entrance and on a rock inside. An owl sits on a rock in another cave and the background is rocky with some bare trees growing here and there and birds flying above.
