A vertically oriented black-and-white lithograph depicts a massive, distorted figure with wide-set eyes and an open mouth at the top. A brilliant, diagonal beam of light cuts through swirling, high-contrast textures toward a smaller, splayed figure in the lower right. In the bottom margin, handwritten text reads "Fall of the Gods" alongside a signature and the edition number "49/50."
