A portrait of a stylized female figure whose head is in profile and torso front facing. The figure has large exposed breast, but is wearing a hoopskirt like bottom. Her hair is styled to mimic the tail fins of the z fish that are stacked above her head. Additionally, the figures arms are fin like, instead of human. In the left corner is a solid green tropical leaf. The background is a pale yellow-gray with circular areas in which the paint was removed via the drips of an aqueous substance.
All four edges are deckled and the print is mounted to a board.
