The artwork features intricate lines and curves creating a depiction of a centaur family. The figures are composed of flowing, swirling lines. The centaurs have human upper bodies and horse lower bodies and are in a relaxed pose. The lines form limbs and torsos blending with tails and hooves. The use of shading and cross-hatching adds depth and texture to the composition.
