The image contains bold black and red shapes, including a central figure with outstretched arms. It shows elongated, curved lines forming a stylized face with hands on both sides. The composition is bordered by black letters spelling out "Georg Heym," "Umbra Vitae," and "Kurt Wolff Verlag München." The combination of forms and text creates a graphic impact.
