This painting shows a dark-colored metal stand. The main body of the stand is a flat disc composed of wavy and straight bars. A handle protrudes out to one side, slightly tilted towards the top left corner of the image, with the main part of the stand in the center of the painting. Two feet stick out below the front of the disc, allowing it to rest on the ground. The color palette is dominated by shades of dark gray and black, and the background is plain beige paper.
