This print depicts two male figures engaged in physical struggle. The man on the left has two long wings that stretch out to either side. He faces us, and has brown hair that flows around his face, a straight nose, and full lips in a neutral expression. He is looking down at the other man, with one arm around the other man's neck and one leg wrapped around his leg. The other man is on the right and slightly in front of the winged man. He has shorter dark hair, and most of his face is in shadow, facing the left. He has both arms tightly wrapped around the winged man's waist, and his legs are braced firmly on the ground. He appears to have a torn, ragged cloth partially wrapped around his waist, while the winged man is nude. The background is dark and filled with dense cross-hatching. There is a small white star in the sky above head of the winged man.
