This painting depicts a detailed sock with intricate patterns. The sock is a cream color, and the patterns are gray and pale blue. They include hexagonal outlines, dots, and leaf shapes. The sock is upright in the center of the page, the toe pointing to the left, with part of it folded over on top of itself. At the very top of the sock is a faint inscription. Surrounding the sock is blank, off-white paper, with a small signature written in the bottom right corner.
