A square color woodcut in muted blues, grays, and yellows centers a dark horizontal shape stretching across the lower middle ground. Below on the left, a pale yellow circle with a white center sits above layered yellow shapes. Near the center stands a small reddish form, while tall yellow forms cluster to the right. In the upper background, hazy blue silhouettes of buildings float, and wood grain is visible across the entire surface.
