A single black line swells and tapers as it curves from the upper left corner of this white canvas across to the right edge, and back to near the lower left corner in this abstract painting. The line makes a short, bracket-like form at the upper left before the large curve, like the belly of a capital D, spans the rest of the height of the canvas.
