The image shows an arrangement of rectangles and squares in an abstract composition, with intersecting vertical and horizontal planes. In the center, there is a green vertical rectangle intersected by black and brown squares. The texture of the black squares resembles white circular patterns, while the brown squares have white blocky marks, giving the surface a brick-like texture. The composition has a grid-like appearance with contrasting color blocks.
