On vertically oriented paper, everything is outlined in black ink and shaded in streaks of gray wash to depict intersecting organic and geometric shapes. A pitcher sits within a scalloped bowl, while blocky marks rise behind. Below, a box rests on a draped cloth atop a chest of drawers with curved fronts and circular handles. Hatching lines provide texture, and light bathes the composition, suggesting simplified forms against the aged paper's warm tone.
