A vertical lithograph in black ink is composed of expressive marks depicting three figures with light skin tones falling through a dark, craggy space. To our right, an older man with wide eyes and an open mouth clutches a staff. To our left, a skeletal figure tumbles headfirst, reaching upward with thin arms. A third figure falls below. In the lower margin, hand-lettered text reads Vengeance alongside a signature and numbers.
