Vertically oriented black ink etching on cream paper features a cavernous, skull-like form. Dense cross-hatching and curved lines create deep, textured shadows and hollow openings. A small fragment reading "Mind" in block letters sits above a torn-paper shape containing a cursive poem by Richard Wilbur, beginning "Mind in its purest play is like some bat." In the lower margin, "Artists Copy" and Salvatore Grippi's handwritten signature flank the central composition.
