A vertically oriented gouache and ink drawing features a dense layering of black, gray, and white marks. Wide, vertical brushstrokes dominate the upper section, overlapping irregular blocks of color. Thin graphite lines form looping circles and grids across the lower half, visible through varying levels of transparency. Scattered drips and clusters of marks punctuate the textured surface, while a signature and the date 59 appear in the bottom right corner.
