Description
An abstract composition on textured cream paper: a thin, irregular black line runs horizontally across the middle, with a solid yellow oval resting just above it on the left and two small red ovals clustered just below the line to its right. A small red seal mark sits in the lower left corner. The overall effect is spare and calligraphic, with a handful of flat color shapes floating against a large expanse of blank, softly textured ground.
