A vertically oriented lithograph in warm red and orange tones depicts people with light skin tones. On our left, a figure sits beneath a patterned canopy above a large horse head. Lower center, a person kneels with palms together. To our right, figures stand; one holds a white bird near a rooster. In the hazy upper background, three others dance with raised arms. The composition features soft, blotchy textures and glowing highlights.
