A horizontally oriented lithograph in heavy black hatching and sketchy lines depicts a firing squad. Furthest left, three men stand against a wall as white smoke billows. Next, a row of soldiers in dark uniforms fire rifles toward them. Finally, a lone soldier stands at the far right holding his rifle vertically. Behind the wall, spectators watch from above. A signature appears in the bottom left corner.
