A vertically oriented lithograph in muted lavender ink depicts ethereal figures amidst swirling strokes. In the upper left, a crescent moon shines above a large horse leaping across the center. Below, a reclining woman with two faces and an exposed torso stretches diagonally across the paper. In the lower right, a small figure curls into a ball, and a person sits huddled. Textured ink defines the dreamlike composition against the white paper.
