This print features the head and raised arm of the Statue of Liberty, seen from below against a backdrop of diagonal purple stripes. The shape of the statue has been simplified into geometric planes and shapes. The statue's recognizable features such as the crown and torch are highlighted in vibrant yellow and black, while most of the statue is white. The statue's head and shoulder are on the right side while the arm holding the torch extends upward on the left. The print is surrounded by a border of off-white paper.
