A vertically oriented black ink print on gray-white paper depicts a decorative border around a blank center. At the top, a couple with light skin tones walks above the word PRINTEMPS, flanked by fruit vines. On our left, a woman with a light skin tone holds her hat. On our right, a figure with a light skin tone pours rain over a city. The bottom features lily of the valley, a mallet, and a palette.
