Sharp, angular forms in shades of laurel, bottle, and moss green, bronze and honey brown, turquoise, and steel gray are fragmented and faceted in this kaleidoscopic, abstract, vertical painting. The gray forms are near the center, and the ochre-brown forms are along the right third of the canvas. A few glints of dark yellow and rust orange are across the bottom, and the rest is filled in with earthy and cool greens. Each form is broken into strips, rays, or bands. The brown and gray areas come to points, like pitched roofs, and one parchment-white shape near the bottom right corner could be a building. The artist signed the lower right corner, “Feininger.”

Two nude women, painted in vibrant coral peach and bubblegum pink, stand under a red umbrella in a landscape in this stylized, vertical painting. The scene is painted with areas of flat or streaked color with visible brushstrokes throughout. The women and umbrella take up most of the picture. The woman on our left stands facing our right almost in profile. Her skin is vivid peach. Slashes of red outline her breasts, groin, and legs. Her hair, eyes, and eyebrows are painted with black strokes. She stands on one leg and stretches the other in front of her to overlap the far foot of the other woman. The first woman hooks her arm through the elbow of the other, who stands facing us to our right. This second woman has vivid pink skin also outlined in red. Her face is a darker shade of pink, resembling a mask, and her eyes are parallel strokes of black and blue. Her left arm, on our right, hangs by her side, and she holds the umbrella with the other arm. She either wears a hat or her hair is painted with alternating bands of black, red, and brown, and there is a red flower or bow to one side. Black lines in the candy-red umbrella suggest a rib on the underside and the handle. Cobalt-blue branches of a tree above the women has blue and green leaves. The landscape beyond them is made up of bands of acid green, yellow, saturated blue, and cool green.
