A color woodcut depicts a stylized black figure with a rounded head protrusion, centered against vibrant red flames. Its face features long earlobes and one wide white eye beside a narrowed counterpart above a set mouth. Swirling woodgrain textures the blocky body and gray background. One hand is raised to our right as jagged red flame silhouettes frame the figure, contrasting with the vertical woodgrain textures of the field.
