A vertically oriented print depicts gaunt, skeletal figures in white against a dark background. One figure reaches toward a burst of light in the upper left. Another figure lies below within a wide, webbed net. In the bottom right corner, two bony hands reach upward. Heavy shadows and sketchy strokes create a textured surface, emphasizing the skeletal forms and dramatic lighting of the scene.
