The poster consists of two pieces of paper taped together at the center, each measuring 34.5" tall by 26.75" wide. The design features abstract body forms beneath a door, with the names Tanning and Galleria Iolas prominently displayed. The body forms evoke a crowd rushing to see the exhibition, only to collapse as the door remains shut—a clever visual metaphor likely alluding to Tanning's popularity. Tanning, a leading figure in the surrealist movement, was also married to fellow surrealist Max Ernst, further highlighting her influence in the avant-garde art world.
