The image displays thin, fluid lines forming an abstract composition. In the center, a large profile of a human face is depicted with simple, exaggerated lines, including a prominent nose. Above the head, abstract animal-like forms resembling large feline creatures are walking along a line. A zigzag pattern is present underneath the chin area. Additionally, tall, grass-like lines rise from the bottom, adding an organic element to the scene.
