The image depicts a black and white drawing of a woman in a tutu balancing on a tightrope. The woman is wearing a short, puffy tutu and a low-cut top. She has dark hair and is holding a long pole with both hands for balance. Her right leg is bent at the knee, and her left leg is extended behind her. She is standing on a thin tightrope that is attached to a large wooden pole on the left side of the image. There is a small drawing of a man in the bottom-right corner of the image. He has short hair and is wearing a collared shirt. There is a hat on the ground next to him. The background of the image is a light brown color. The artist's signature is visible at the bottom of the image.
