A vertically oriented etching depicts numerous muscular figures falling through space. At the top, a bearded man tumbles left. Diagonal shafts of light cross the composition against a dark, hatched background. Throughout the center, nude figures with hatched shading overlap in various falling poses. On our right, one figure wears a tall, pointed hat. A large muscular man lies across the bottom. Below, inscriptions read "Lucifer" and "Harry Sternberg."
