The image shows an abstract representation of a person lying down. The entire body is depicted in a reclining position with arms and legs extended. Facial features are not clearly defined, but the hair is represented with a block of dark color around where the head rests. The person appears unclothed, as there are no distinct elements depicting attire. The figure is situated within an abstract surrounding that features a pattern reminiscent of stars and possible stripes. The background creates a textured border around the entire image. The artwork is signed 'Milton Avery 1953' at the bottom right, and 'Artist Proof' is written at the bottom left.
