The image features flowing lines and sharp angles, with a seated figure and rounded shapes placed along a horizontal plane. The composition includes intricate cross-hatching and sweeping curves, suggesting a landscape intertwined with man-made structures. The figure appears to be a woman in a draped gown leaning forward gracefully. Next to her are small, rounded forms with circular eyes resembling owls. These elements are joined by abstract foliage and linear details creating a dreamlike scene.
