A horizontally oriented graphite drawing on cream paper features a large rectangle filled with dense, overlapping loops. The continuous, pencil-like lines create a tangled texture in various shades of gray that cluster in the center and bottom right corner. Some thin marks extend past the right border into the blank paper margins. The frantic scribbling is contained by a rigid, thin-lined frame.
