Description
An abstract composition set against a mottled dark olive-brown ground, dominated by an irregular white shape that snakes vertically through the center. Overlapping organic forms in magenta, crimson, orange, and yellow cluster around the white shape's midsection, flanked by a dark brown angular form at left, a teal and violet shape at right, and small scattered purple dots; loose white scribble lines appear in the upper right. The sheet is pencil-signed "Hideo Hagiwara -99" at lower left, titled in Japanese characters at lower center, and numbered "15/30" at lower right, consistent with the 1999 woodblock print *Seasonal Poem (2)*.
