The presented drawing is an illustration of a children's book - Ferda the Ant. The book originally had only 14 colour illustrations and 69 black and white ones, but in 1958 the proportion of black and white and colour illustrations was more or less equal. The illustration belongs to the chapter when Ferda had no umbrella and tried to hide from rain in the house of a snail, which did not want his company at all.
