A vertically oriented black ink print depicts figures in a dark space with dense cross-hatching. In the center, a skeletal figure in a long skirt holds a horizontal child who blows toward a flame. In the foreground, a seated nude figure faces away near a small child. Above, ghostly faces emerge from swirling, dark clouds. Below, an inscription reads "Sopla," and at the top right is the number sixty-nine.
