A vertically oriented lithograph depicts Abdullah the Fisherman, a bearded man with a medium skin tone in a patterned green robe, pulling a textured blue net. Trapped inside, Abdullah the Merman, with a light skin tone, raises both arms. A large red shape rises behind the fisherman, while a deep blue sea filled with small fish occupies the background, all rendered with expressive lines and vibrant, saturated colors.
