A vertically oriented off-white paper features fluid black script flowing in rhythmic, slanting lines. At the top left, an ornate, looped 'La' is encircled within a thin, hand-drawn line. The cursive text includes the phrase 'La machine fait du géométrique,' with variations in ink density revealing the swift movement of the pen. In the bottom right corner, a small, dark '35' punctuates the composition.
