Composition in blue tones (predominant), gray, white and red. Smooth texture and marked brushstrokes. Not figurative composition formed by irregular areas juxtaposed and superimposed with a predominance of blue tones. In the center, major form in white and gray, on the left range of species slightly diagonally from the left to the right and from bottom to top, graycale. On the bottom on the right, otherwise grayish-shaped "L" upside down. For the rest of the composition are seen other forms in the same tone but in smaller proportions.
