This is a print of two nude men in a cave. One man is standing over another fallen man, raising a long club behind his head with both arms, as if ready to strike. The man on the ground is reaching upward with one hand and extending one of his legs upward. The standing man appears to be wearing a ragged lion-skin cloak, and both men have highly defined muscles. The background is chaotic and filled with other people and animals.
