Monochrome drawing of a scene in a bluish green. A curvy figure drawn as an outline is stretched across the diagonal plane, its posture doesn't quite make sense. It's floating upwards, head and edge of stubby arm over / under a solid oval surrounded by a ring / lip. Eyes appear closed as half circles. Other arm extends towards a three dimensional cavity in a receding three dimensional grid, with two clashing perspectives. A small butt and crossed stubby legs are over another three dimensional opening in yet another clashing perspective.
