A vertically oriented woodcut print in grainy black ink depicts two hands with light skin tones carving at a table. From our upper right, one hand grips a vertical tool. From the lower left, another hand with splayed fingers steadies a block. Light from an upper-left window highlights muscular forms defined by sharp white lines and heavy black shadows against a city-like skyline composed of fractured, cornered shapes.
