Description
A bright yellow ground frames two bold, angular figures rendered in thick black outlines with patches of white, red, and green. The foreground figure faces forward with a mask-like white face, while a second, taller figure looms behind, partly merged with dense dark foliage or drapery filling the upper portion of the composition. The heavy black contouring and flattened, fractured shapes give the scene a stark, somber intensity, consistent with this 1960 woodblock print by Sadao Watanabe titled *Lazarus*.
