An etching and aquatint in a vertical format depicts two nude people with light skin tones on a floating light-colored mass. One person sits atop the other; both have limbs extended, mouths open, and brows furrowed. Above them, a dark, winged creature with limbs raised flies against a dark background. Below, a furry creature reaches upward. Cursive script at the bottom reads "Quien lo creyera!" and the number 62 is at our top right.
