In this vertically oriented woodcut, a textured gray rectangle with a visible wood grain occupies the top half, punctuated by sparse white dots. Below, seven abstract forms in dark brown and muted gray sit on a cream field. These shapes include an irregular vertical form, a square, a T-shape, two L-shapes, a small rectangle, and a tall pillar. Handwritten pencil notations and the title "White Night" line the bottom margin.
