Detailed Description
The image depicts a scene on a light-colored background. On the far left, a large, red and blue cloud-like or flame-like shape is partially visible, extending from the top edge. To its right and slightly below, a smaller, light pink-clad figure lies on its side, facing right. This figure has dark hair and what appears to be light brown fur on its limbs. Its body is mostly covered by a flowing pink garment with red ties. Further to the right, dominating the right half of the image, is a large, blue-skinned, emaciated figure in a running or striding pose, moving towards the right. This figure has prominent horns, a black hat, and a red beard. Its body is skeletal with visible ribs and sinews. It wears a simple loincloth-like garment in reddish-brown and white. Its hands and feet are clawed. The figure holds a long, dark pole or spear diagonally across its body, pointing upwards and to the right. A small red banner or ribbon is attached near the tip of the spear. The background is a plain, light beige or cream color, showing some faint discoloration.
