A horizontally oriented print depicts surreal figures in a landscape defined by fine lines and deep shadows. In the bottom left foreground, a head faces away. Next, two figures lean against textured tree stumps. To the right, several nude people with bound, intertwined limbs appear to float or fall over rocky ground. Above, organic, bonelike shapes hover in a dark, cloudy sky. A flat horizon stretches across the vast background distance.
