A vertical, gray-toned lithograph depicts a surreal scene under a glowing moon. At the center, an owl on a branch holds a basket containing a fish. To our right, three distorted figures squat on a large, pale sphere. On our left, a tilted clock floats above a boar with a knife and fork in its back. Bare trees and flying birds populate the foreground against dark, swirling, textured clouds.
