Item description from the inventory book:
Against a dark starry sky, above a conventionally depicted Earth, a man in a cosmonaut suit flies. On the Earth's surface, as if edged with tongues of flame, a multitude of hands, banners, and dark vertical projections stand out. Below the image on the right — the artist's signature and date; on the left — 20/13 "Cosmonaut" from the series "Per aspera ad astra"
