A dark olive-green woodblock depicts a skeletal figure carved into a prominent vertical grain. The figure stands in a wide stride, drawing a bow with its left arm extended upward and its right arm pulled back. Pale, natural-wood lines define its ribs and thin limbs against the dark surface. This dynamic composition captures the skeletal form in profile, its limbs and torso defined by shallow, expressive incisions in the wood.
