A vertically oriented, predominantly dark-toned etching depicts a deconstructed figure and a rooster. Compared to the figure on our left, which features circular eyes and a hatched mouth, the stylized rooster to our right rises with a jagged crest. Both forms terminate in splayed, hand-like feet against a granular background. A white margin containing handwritten numbers "29/50" and a cursive signature frames the composition.
