This painting displays a composition of curved and linear shapes, forming an intricate abstract pattern of golden-yellow lines. The abstract forms suggest a landscape with undulating lines reminiscent of topographical maps. Standing among the yellow lines are three tall brown sunflowers with their flowers facing the ground. There is another small figure at the bottom of the image that is hard to identify but appears to be made of crossed sticks. All of these figures cast dark blue shadows behind them. At the top of the painting there is a row of trees, some green and healthy while others are thin, brown, and leafless. Around the trees are mountains capped with snow. Above them is a sliver of light blue sky.
