A vertically oriented color lithograph on textured white paper features abstract, pale yellow forms. Painterly strokes sweep across the upper half and left edge, while clusters of stippled dots and fine, scratchy lines occupy the center and lower right. Thin ink reveals a vertical grain within the paper. This asymmetrical composition leaves significant areas blank, framed by uneven edges and a delicate arrangement of wispy, yellow marks.
