Print
A vertically oriented print in black ink depicts grotesque figures rendered with frenetic hatching. On the right, a standing person in a long garment holds a child upside down by its ankles. Beside them, a seated nude man with hatched muscles looks toward a flame-topped stand. Behind, figures with warped, bulging faces and outstretched arms emerge from deep, textured shadows. In the top right corner, the number "69" is inscribed.
