A vertically oriented zincograph on bright yellow paper depicts a nude figure leaning forward, right hand on knee and left arm bent behind their back. Heavy, dark ink masses surround the silhouette. To the upper left, a smaller, hazy figure stands amidst wavy water. Two wooden clogs rest near the bottom. The artist's signature appears at the lower left, inscribed against the saturated yellow ground.
