A vertically oriented black ink drawing on cream paper depicts a dense, overlapping arrangement of abstracted forms. Near the top center, a birdlike head with a prominent comb faces right. Below, figures with rounded, bulbous limbs intertwine in a rhythmic composition. Fine hatching and dense cross-hatching define three-dimensional volumes and deep shadows throughout the piece. The artist's signature, "Cagli," appears in the bottom left corner.
