A black and white lithograph featuring abstract figures; two prominent figures resembling simplified, rounded human forms in the foreground, with a sketchy, park-like scene and a more detailed figure holding a child in the background. The artwork has a dreamlike, surreal quality, with soft lines and shading. Artist's signature and date are visible in the lower right corner.
