The image features strong black lines forming abstract figures on a mustard-yellow background. Two humanoid figures stand side by side, resembling ancient petroglyphs or cave drawings, and they are depicted holding hands. Above them is a geometric shape. The figures are framed by bold vertical rectangles. The words "ZEICHNUNGEN VON ERNST LUDWIG KIRCHNER" and "ARNOLDS GRAPHISCHE BÜCHER" are inscribed at the top and bottom in a bold, stylized font.
