The image displays bold, irregular shapes and lines in an abstract arrangement. The shapes vary in form, with some curves and others straight lines. The colors used are primarily blue and brown, with touches of green and yellow. Small circular elements and patches of diagonal stripes are present throughout the composition. Enclosed ovals along the edges are reminiscent of compasses or decorative chart embellishments.
