The print shows a central figure within a scallop edged border. The central figure has a round face, the eyes and nose are highlighted, and the mouth is a small peaked line. Wings extend out from the head and the small rectangular body with stick-like arms has upraised hands. Over the head is an arched banner which reads memento mori. The surrounding area is light brown with dark brown four leaved flowers connected by thin lines that follow the scalloped edge.
