The image is a hand-drawn sketch on a light tan or beige paper. The sketch is done in black ink.

The composition consists of several abstract geometric shapes and patterns arranged in a seemingly arbitrary manner. Three of the shapes are contained within outlined rectangles, giving them a sense of enclosure or individual studies. These rectangles are placed on the left side of the image. Inside these rectangles, there are various abstract forms with different patterns, such as cross-hatching, grids, and solid dark areas.

To the right of these rectangles, there is a larger, less defined shape that resembles a landmass. This shape is also filled with various patterns, including cross-hatching, vertical stripes, and grids. There are handwritten annotations scattered around the shapes. One note says "Scale-Direction" which is written vertically and another has the word "Blue" written next to some vertical lines and "red" next to a grid.

At the bottom of the image, there is a longer handwritten statement that reads, "A Color is a Scale-Configuration identical with visually discrete ones." This text seems to be a philosophical or artistic statement related to the abstract shapes above.
