A vertically oriented lithograph depicts gaunt figures in white lines, blending into the dark background. At top, a large, translucent skeletal figure holds a horizontal, blade-like object. Below, several smaller figures fall in frenetic movement. To the left, one figure raises an arm toward their face while another points left. Rough white lines and heavy shadows create strong contrast throughout the composition.
