The image consists of intersecting lines and geometric shapes. A central vertical form divides the composition, while horizontal lines suggest the horizon or a fence. The lower part is filled with overlapping triangular and rectangular shapes. Sharp angles and contrasting light and dark areas contribute to the abstract nature of the image.
