The composition consists of three panels featuring a male figure. The central panel shows a sketch of a nude male with short hair, right arm raised holding an object, left leg bent, in a running motion. He faces right. The left and right panels depict the same figure in a similar pose against a background of buildings on fire. The left and right panels are more detailed and feature the same figure with his right arm raised and left leg bent, running to the right. A cityscape with buildings engulfed in flames is below him. The image background is sepia-toned, with black and white illustrations.
