A delicate etching depicts a monkey with an open, screaming mouth, and dark eyes. The monkey is attached from the top of it's head, through spindly twisting cables, to a machine behind. A skeleton is turned, profile to the viewer, to control the machine. In the background, the image is framed by a rectangle grid, like a jail cell.
