Composition in the earthy and red tones (predominant), ochre, gray, blue and black. Smooth texture and marked brushstrokes. Not figurative composition formed by irregular areas juxtaposed and superimposed with a predominance of earthy and red tones. The composition suggests irregular shapes in shades of ochre, overlapping the background in earthy tones and red, which are located in the center of the support and which, being lighter, stand out. On the left, in the upper half and on the right, are seen small areas in dark blue tones forming triangles of different sizes.
