Against a gray background, the silhouettes of three figures are shown engaged in a ritual dance. In the foreground, slightly to the right, a woman is depicted bent forward, holding spherical rattles (maracas) in her hands. She is dressed in a long, flowing garment and wears a tall headpiece with a bull mask. In the background, two men in loose trousers are bent at the hips, moving rhythmically to the dance. One of the men wears a triangular hat. The tonal washes highlight the texture of the cardboard.
