A vertically oriented color lithograph in muted blue depicts Abdullah the Fisherman reaching toward Abdullah the Merman. Centered, the Fisherman, a bearded man with a light skin tone, extends his arm toward the Merman, who has a light skin tone and a long fish tail. Women, fish, birds, and a goat fill the dense, swirling composition around them. All have light skin tones and float within wide white paper margins.
