A vertically oriented color lithograph in deep purples and blues features a large, pale blue horse leaping over a central mound. Below, a nude woman with long dark hair lies diagonally, embraced by a smaller figure. A glowing crescent moon hangs in the upper left, while several other figures rest on the slopes. The scene is rendered with soft, hazy textures and glowing circular forms that create an ethereal, dreamlike atmosphere.
