A puppet-like female figure is depicted using black pen and charcoal, a series of black lines run from the figure's arm and head to the top of the page giving the appearance that she is a marionette. Beneath the figure, emerging from a circular hole in the floor, there is a goblin-like figure, wearing a bow tie, depicted using black pen and ink. The text 'mirror floor' is written in pen towards the bottom of the paper.
