A vertically oriented, predominantly dark-toned lithograph in black ink depicts several distorted figures against a textured background. On our left, a muscular torso stands with a skull-like head facing right. Centrally, a skeletal figure reaches upward with elongated, thin hands. At the bottom center, a face stares forward with wide eyes and a gaping mouth, hands clutching its cheeks. A birdlike head sits at the bottom left. Handwritten text appears in the lower margin.
