A horizontally oriented woodcut print in white lines on a black background depicts a swirling, mythical scene. On the left, a nude figure sits with their back turned. In the lower center, a small person with raised hands stands beside a large fish marked with a human profile. To our right, faces emerge from circular, feathery shapes amidst wave-like patterns. At the bottom, a handwritten inscription reads, "L'Univers est créé."
