A horizontally oriented woodblock print in black ink depicts a skeleton highlighted in fine horizontal parallel lines against a dark background. The skull faces right while the ribcage and limbs stretch toward the left. In the background on the left, two wooden crosses stand beneath a dark tree branch. An inscription appears in the lower left corner. The composition uses high contrast to create a stark, textured scene.
