Description
A group of people are surrounded by a menacing being, while one of them raises an imposing arm towards a painted circle fixed in a fissured space. In an underworld atmosphere, between smoky gray and iron color, an unusual scene unfolds. An orange, reptilian-looking animal occupies the lower half of the picture. The body, the long neck, the back covered in a layer of pointed scales and the elongated snout are concentrated on the right. The tail extends along the entire lower edge of the picture and rises up in the shape of a shell, on the left ending in the shape of an open hand with four fingers.
Resting on the animal's tail are two groups of people, both stained with iron orange. The first group is leaning to the left, close to the animal's back. It is made up of two upright bodies. The second group, centered, is made up of three standing people. One of them stands out, with his legs ajar and his left arm disproportionate, ending in four huge pointed fingers, raised towards a fixed circle, placed in the upper half of the picture. There, the atmosphere is fissured, similar to oak bark. There is a triangular crack that forms from the top edge of the print and extends to the center of the print.  The circle contrasts its color there by letting two strands of paint drip through.
