A vertically oriented lithograph in black ink depicts five figures with light skin tones on a dark structure of ladders and scaffolding. In the top right, one figure falls headfirst. On the left, another stands with a hand to their forehead. Figures below climb or cling to the framework. Swirling, wispy white forms rise on the left against a dark background. Handwritten numbers, the word "Crisis," and a signature appear in the lower margin.
