An etching on horizontally oriented textured paper features fine black lines outlining a network of intersecting organic shapes. Muted yellow washes and dark gray stippling fill various amoeba-like forms. In the upper left, a rounded shape contains vertical bars, while a horizontal oval at the bottom center encloses a small, pale figure. Wandering lines interconnect these scattered forms, creating a complex, layered composition of light-colored voids and textured masses.
