Figurative group showing a youth watching a meeting between a monkey and a hare.
The man is shown wearing only a loincloth. His plump body suggests that he belongs to the group of sumo wrestlers. In one of his clenched hands he holds a fragment of a baton. With the other he balances the lunge of his body.
Standing opposite the animals, he watches their movements with interest.
