The black and white image is a detailed woodcut print set within a pointed arch shape, depicting a scene filled with symbolic and possibly religious undertones. A figure dressed in a suit is seated at the bottom of the composition, appearing deep in thought or prayer on a patterned floor, surrounded by elaborate motifs of skeletal and spectral figures on either side.
