This print shows three tall, stiff figures standing side by side. Their faces are simple shapes with big eyes, and their bodies are made of sharp, angular lines. The middle figure holds a round object, while the others have their hands near their sides. The background is just dark shapes and lines—no real details. The figures look like they’re carved from wood, not painted. The artist used only black and white, with no shading. The lines are crisp and bold, almost like a sketch turned into a print.
