A horizontally oriented etching on light brown paper depicts a contorted, doll-like figure with bulbous segments and ball-jointed limbs. Enclosed in a thin, box-like frame, the figure reaches upward with elongated arms. A head with a single eye faces left, while multiple feet cluster at the bottom right. Fine lines provide delicate shading throughout the form. The signature "Bellmer" is visible at the bottom right corner.
