Horizontally long print in black ink of fifteen nude children with pudgy bodies, short, wavy hair, and light skin tones dancing against a dark background, all shading created with even, hatched lines. On the left, one child plays what could be a violin, the child behind them what could be a trumpet or clarinet. The remaining children hold hands, dancing over pebbled ground in a rough circle with their backs to the center.
