The image is comprised of a complex arrangement of angular and curved lines forming an abstract composition. The shapes create crowded groups of elongated faces and distorted human forms with disproportionately large heads. Some figures appear to be carrying signs. A large gauge or clock face is present, with brick-like textures in the background. The scene is dense with overlapping figures, some in reclining positions, suggesting the busyness of urban life or industrial labor.
