The image shows a circular composition filled with intricate, interwoven lines and shapes. Two human profiles are visible on the left, composed of a network of crisscrossing lines. They face a large vase filled with an arrangement of flowers and foliage on the right side. The bouquet is detailed with leaves and flower heads connecting to different textures. Below the profiles, there are abstract shapes suggesting garments or textured skin, while the lower section contains forms reminiscent of a resting insect and fruits.
