A vertically oriented lithograph on light paper depicts three distorted figures blending into a dark, textured background. In the upper right, a head tilts back with a gaping mouth and wide eyes. To our left, a figure hangs upside down with bulging eyes and long, skeletal fingers. At the bottom center, a third figure looks down with a furrowed brow while gripping a vertical rod.
