The image shows a composition of geometric shapes and intersecting lines forming a pattern. It features a large abstract field of green covering most of the canvas, bordered with blocks of vibrant blue and golden yellow at the top. A parallel strip of muted beige is at the lower edge, and a curve of dark indigo is at the bottom left. Fine lines weave throughout the image in diagonals and verticals.
