A knot of figures stands against a flat black ground, carrying a body down toward a grey stone ledge that runs along the bottom edge. The carried body is pink and bare, larger than any of its helpers; its white-curled head has sunk onto the carrier's shoulder, its legs fold toward the lower left, and one arm hangs until the red-tipped fingers touch the step. The carrier is seen from the back in a green robe, dark hair in a low knot, both ochre feet set on the ledge with the toes drawn in black. At the left an old figure with dry white hair and an orange face, the eyes ringed in black like a pair of spectacles, flings one hand open against the dark. Above the body a head in a pale blue scarf looks down with heavy-lidded eyes, a figure in a white turban presses a hand to its mouth, and at the right a figure whose face is split down the middle, one half pale and one half olive under pink hair, throws an orange arm up with the fingers spread; a second orange hand rises at the top of the group. Every helping hand is orange and striped in black. A purple drape swirls under the body and spills over the front of the ledge, with a wedge of dark red and a passage of mint-white cloth beside it. A small signature sits in the lower right corner.
