A vertically oriented wood engraving in black ink on square, cream paper with uneven edges depicts two centered forms. Top, a rectangle encloses a face rendered with dense, overlapping lines and a furrowed brow. Below stands a small figure in dark, spiked armor and a pointed helmet. Expansive, empty margins frame the intricate illustrations, focusing attention on the stark, isolated figures.
