The image displays an abstract composition of jagged and curving lines with patches of color. Some shapes resemble trees against a background that may suggest a garden or park, with white and darker lines intersecting the scene. Green, blue, and maroon colors insinuate vegetation and the sky. The loose interpretation of natural elements conveys an impressionistic view of an outdoor space.
