A sketch on paper featuring a prominent red shape that resembles a flag or a piece of fabric on the left side, with underlying pencil or charcoal drawings that appear to be abstract forms or possibly a landscape. The paper is taped to a surface with yellowish tape at the corners. There are some illegible handwritten notes or signatures at the bottom right.
