A vertically oriented print in black ink depicts a group of figures in a frenetic circle dance, with legs kicked outward. They wear tunics and tights, shaded in high contrast with fine textures. Above them, a thick canopy of dark, lobed leaves fills the upper half. Small sketches of birds and an animal sit on the top margin. On our right, one figure faces the center while others turn away.
