A vertically oriented etching and aquatint on white paper depicts a group of nude figures with light skin tones huddled together. Hatching and grainy aquatint texture the scene, shading their warped, bulging faces. One figure sits with legs crossed, gesturing up toward a dark, star-spotted sky. A shadowy, hatched form mimics their posture in the background. Below, cursive text reads "Si amanece; nos Vamos." and "71." is in the top right.
