This is an abstract artwork featuring a variety of lines, shapes, and scribbles in multiple colors such as red, green, yellow, and blue on an off-white paper background. The composition is spontaneous with overlapping elements and has a raw, expressive quality. Handwritten text and numbers are visible at the top, suggesting a date and possibly an edition number. The paper's edges are rough, indicating it may be a print or a unique piece.
