- The image is a collage of various materials, including paper, fabric, and possibly other ephemera. The central focus is a drawing of a person in silhouette, facing away from the viewer, standing in front of the Statue of Liberty. The Statue of Liberty is depicted in a simplified, cartoonish style. The background of the drawing is a light blue, and the person is wearing a dark jacket. The collage is held together with blue tape at the top. Handwritten notes are visible on the right-hand side of the image, with a date and some text written in green ink.
