Neanderthals driving ibex over a chasm

A beautiful illustration from a book on auction at Illustration House.

An ibex drive provides a band of Neanderthalers with enough food for several days. The stronger animals clear the chasm but weaker ones plummet to the bottom where they are slain by waiting hunters.
