The image displays various abstract shapes and swirling lines creating a complex arrangement. A large hand is in the upper portion of the image, above an abstractly rendered face. To the right, there is a shape resembling a violin and what appears to be an equine figure. The color palette includes deep reds, blues, yellows, and greens. In the lower left, there is a figure dressed in red, with an ambiguous expression, and near the bottom, the lines suggest feet or legs.
