The artwork depicts a highly stylised, fractured figure rendered in bold strokes of crimson red, deep navy blue, and graphic black outlines, set against an intensely textured, impasto background of warm ochres and dark umber.

The painting is housed in a mid-century wooden frame, which features an elaborate ribbed texture finished in a subtle, aged gilt wash over a warm gesso base.
