Executed between the 1960s and 1980s, the work reflects Cucaro’s characteristic use of earthy tonalities blended with restrained gestural movement, creating an organic biomorphic focal point against a layered ground. The composition is rendered on a 4 × 6-inch board, presented in its period linen-lined frame that complements the mid-century aesthetic associated with Bay Area modernism.

Cucaro’s signature appears prominently along the lower edge, consistent with his documented signing style on small-format paintings.
