A vertically oriented color lithograph features swirling indigo and teal washes with a central figure riding a dark horse. The rider wears a reddish garment and has two overlapping faces, one forward and one in profile. Below them, a yellow circle emits radiating lines across the textured surface. In the upper left corner, a green animal head peers inward, its form emerging from the deep, mottled background.
