A horizontally oriented lithograph depicts five muscular football players with light skin tones. Furthest left, two figures in light uniforms lean forward with backs turned. Centrally, one player crouches on all fours. Next, a player in a dark jersey lunges forward clutching a football. Finally, a figure watches with a hand raised near their helmet. Heavy, rounded shading and highlights define the players' statuesque forms against a dark background.
