The white, left-hand profile of the first mammoth (1) is made using large scrapes with the fingers and flat of the hand. The thin rear end follows the shape of the wall. The second mammoth (2) shows its right profile and overlaps with the first. The third mammoth (3) is the largest in the cave. This right-hand profile, with its dynamic lines, overlaps the other two.
