A vertical color lithograph depicts a figure with a pale, circular face and brown neckpiece riding a dark blue horse leaping through a hazy blue expanse. Dense, swirling scribbles of indigo and cerulean ink create a dreamlike atmosphere. A green animal head and crescent moon appear in the upper left, while a yellow sun with thin, radiating lines glows from the bottom right against the textured, stippled background.
