A vertically oriented lithograph on off-white paper features eleven lines of fluid, black cursive script filling the upper page. Below the text, a minimalist line drawing of a boat floats atop simple, undulating waves. The script begins with "Justesse l'autre main" and ends with "barque sur l'eau." In the bottom left corner, the number "50" is written in ink. The composition feels light, rhythmically harmonizing the text and image.
