The image shows an arrangement of diagonal and horizontal lines intersecting across the canvas, forming a grid-like pattern. Large, irregularly shaped patches and faint squiggly marks enhance the abstract composition. The irregular shapes and the grid can be seen in the image. Soft, contrasting beige and ochre tones are used to create dimension and depth.
