A horizontally oriented drypoint print, created by incising a metal plate, on light beige paper depicts a child with light skin tone reclining on a couch. The child's head rests on a pillow at our right, their face in profile. Their body stretches across the center; one leg bends upward while the other extends toward our left. Sketchy lines and cross-hatching define the figure. A butterfly-like symbol appears in the upper left corner.
