The image shows angular and zigzagging lines intersecting within a rectangular frame. The shapes resemble a stylized evergreen tree, with accompanying text saying "Merry Christmas" and "Happy New Year." In the upper right corner, an abstract sun-like shape is marked with "1935". The year "1936" is also indicated near geometric elements. The name "John Marin" is inscribed at the bottom right of the image, creating a festive card-like layout.
