A horizontally oriented line block print in sepia ink depicts a dark silhouetted rider on horseback charging right. The rider brandishes a long spear angled upward. Overhead, a bird flies while two dog-like figures run near the horse's legs. Shadowy forms trail behind from the left. Swirling lines and white speckles create a grainy, wind-blown texture. An irregular border frames the scene, with the number 69 centered at the bottom.
