The image displays thin intersecting lines creating abstract forms on a lightly textured background. A prominent outline resembling a human face with a nose and chin is visible. Faint linework above the face suggests figures resembling grazing animals like horses. On the left, a large dark purple rectangle and smaller rectangular forms contrast with the delicate textures and lines in the scene.
