A vertically oriented lithograph in blue tones depicts a large birdlike form hovering over two reclining figures. Below, two nude people with long dark hair lie with heads close together, one arm raised. Above, a dominant bird features a sharp beak and large eye looking to our left. Inside its body, a small, nude figure rests beside a white circular form. Dense blue foliage and stippled ink fill the background against white paper.
