Cutaway view showing the inside and the outside at once of a gothic castle with cobblestone streets below, where giant whales swim slowly through the dark sky above, their massive bodies casting long shadows over the streets. A small boat on a river in the foreground reflects the whales, and a whale's eye is visible in the clouds, staring down at the castle. Ripples in the sky where the whales swim distort the stars, and a flock of birds is scattered by the passing whales. The composition features everything turning in a spiral around the centre, with light from behind creating a glowing halo around the outlines of the whales and the castle. The artwork is a linocut print with bold carved lines and two inks, using high contrast black and white areas to define the massive scale of the whales against the architectural details of the castle.
