A black and white etching depicting a surreal and chaotic scene with various objects and figures. At the center, a large knight in armor lies on its back, with a cathedral-like structure emerging from its torso. The knight's helmet is open, revealing an empty space where the head should be. A spider web stretches across the upper right corner. In the foreground, a circular frame contains a figure resembling a classical statue of a man, and there are scattered elements like a radio, a snake, and what appears to be a globe or orb with a snake wrapped around it. The artwork is signed "Kollwitz - 1936" and "Kenneth Hayes" at the bottom.
