Two muscular men, in denim shorts, wrestling one another, dominates the composition. Below them is a square etching depicting the abdomen and thighs of a nude woman laying on a bed. The vibrancy of the lithograph is subdued by a frosted Mylar overlay. Printed on the Mylar, over the square is the following text: " Banishment he wrote, is unfair, for it falls more heavily on the family than the exile. Would it not be better to leave us in our homes, and make us wear red caps, or ribbons, or chains around our necks, so people, seeing us, would know they must distrust us."
