The image displays bold, curved shapes against a textured background. The shapes resemble a large and small spade symbol from playing cards. The composition uses dark blue hues for the primary shapes and light blue and black for the smaller figure against a reddish-brown backdrop. The large shape is in the lower left-hand side and the smaller shape is in the top right corner.
