A vertically oriented lithograph, composed of heavy black shading and sharp white highlights, depicts a chaotic scene. Top center, a predatory feline head with almond eyes and sharp fangs devours a human figure. Below, amidst a dark void, human figures tumble through crisscrossing ladders and bright geometric beams. One figure on our left falls backward, while another at the bottom is upside down. Wispy, white lines swirl around the beast.
