The image contains bold, curved lines in red and blue on the sides, intersecting black lines at the bottom forming a grid-like pattern. At the top, there is an abstract star-like shape in simple lines. In the center, a shape created by a single black line loops and curves, resembling a profile or musical note. The color and form suggest an abstract representation, reminiscent of a gate, celestial body, or flowing ribbons in a minimalistic style.

The image features a central abstract shape that resembles an elongated arch with a delicate line extending downward, ending in a smaller, angled curve. This shape might bring to mind the outline of a canoe or boomerang hovering over a simplistic representation of a paddle. The overall composition is balanced by the surrounding text, which states "PAUL ELUARD" and "A TOUTE ÉPREUVE Gravures sur bois de JOAN MIRÓ," indicating it is a title page.

The artwork features a collection of bold and curving lines forming a fish-like shape in the lower right corner of the canvas. The shape is primarily black, with a vibrant blue oval possibly representing an eye. A red and yellow ribbon-like form extends from the head. These details are set against an empty background.
