The image is a rectangular composition with abstract shapes and lines. In the center is a square shape containing curved lines and circular forms resembling a simplistic face. In the corners are large eye-like shapes with sunbeam lines extending outward. Below the square is a squiggly line resembling the mathematical symbol for infinity, and a pointed, mountain-like shape on one side. The word "BRUNO BETTELHEIM" is inscribed across the bottom of the image.
