The print displays abstract depictions of several people. The people appear skeletal, with shapes like bones or muscles visible. Two standing people appear to lead a third person that is kneeling or being dragged towards the left of the print. To the right is the faint shape of what could be a fourth person, although only their lower body is visible. The bottom half of the background is white, while the upper half is a gradient of brown tones with abstract lines and shapes creating texture. The print is surrounded by a border of off-white paper.
