A vertically oriented green lithograph depicts sketchy, overlapping white figures against a saturated background. In the upper right, a figure stands within a pale oval. The center features faces and fish-like forms merging amidst floral patterns. Near the bottom, a human-headed fish lies horizontally, and a figure with a tail stands to the right. The loose strokes and white dots occasionally reveal the paper, creating a textured, dreamlike composition.
