A grainy horizontally oriented platinum print depicts a nude figure with medium-light skin tone on our left, lying on their side with back and buttocks prominent. To our right, three vertical limbs extend toward the ground, ending in clenched, hoof-like shapes. High contrast emphasizes bright highlights and deep shadows across the bodies. A dark, textured surface and flat background frame the scene. A signature appears in the lower margin.
