A vertically oriented black-and-white lithograph on white paper depicts a surreal, high-contrast scene. On our right, two thin-limbed figures ascend a staircase, reaching toward a central spiked form. A dark, textured mass with a facial profile looms above them. To our left, a plume of white vapor rises over jagged rubble. Handwritten text, including "49/50" and "Visionary," appears in the bottom margin.
