The image shows a piece of paper with both sketch and handwritten text. At the top of the paper, there is a rough black and white pencil sketch of an abstract composition with geometric forms. It includes rectangles, lines, and a shape that resembles a curvy letter 'S'. There is a wobbly grid-like structure to the left, a sun-like circle above, and what could be architectural elements or sculptures. Some parts of the sketch are lightly shaded, while others have firm lines. Below the sketch, there's a handwritten note in cursive script. The note reads: "The Painting must never be regarded as arriving at a Completion when is called Good. That presumes a meaning ulterior to the exclusive C. [Scale?] Size Meaning of the work. The artist never knows whether is Good or Not He knows only his Objective Method" The handwriting is neat but with a personal flair, and there are a couple of words that are crossed out and corrected. At the end of the text, "Charles" is partially written out and then scratched through, next to it "Sluta" is written which also seems to be crossed out. On the bottom right of the page, there is a signature that reads "Charles" but the last name is not fully legible. The overall sense is that of a working document of an artist, combining visual ideas with reflective notes on the artistic process.

The image appears to be a sketch or drawing of an abstract, geometric composition. The piece features various angular and curved shapes, lines, and forms arranged in a seemingly intentional manner. The artist has written a reflective note at the bottom of the image, expressing their view that a painting should never be regarded as merely aiming at a completion, but rather as conveying a deeper, more meaningful interpretation that goes beyond the exclusive, traditional understanding of the work. The artist suggests that the true value of the artwork lies in the artist's own understanding and execution, rather than any external judgment of its quality.
