This is a screen-print by Herbert Alexander Gentry. It depicts four abstract human figures primarily depicted in hues of green, yellow, red and blue. On the right margin is a figure in profile with yellow hair. Next to them is an individual in red tones who gazes directly at the viewer. On their other side is a smaller individual located near the bottom margin who appears to be sitting astride a quadruped creature. The person is in profile but turns their head over their left shoulder to gaze at the viewer. The fourth individual appears to be leaning against the left margin in a quarter turn. The print is signed "Herbert Gentry" at bottom right with the edition "31/150" at bottom left.
