A long white curving stroke sweeps diagonally from the lower right to the upper center, anchoring the composition. Scattered around it: a large biomorphic brown form like a hand or cloud at the upper right, a purple circle with a white center at the left, a striped diamond, stacked triangles in pink and gray-blue near the bottom, a striped rectangle in blue and gold, small curling forms like musical notation, purple crescents and arcs, and a red diagonal line crossing through the center. The brown paper ground is left exposed as the dominant color, warm and matte, giving the whole composition a handmade, intimate quality. Gouache and mixed media on brown paper, initialed and dated lower left, 1940.
