Description

A luminous pale-gold and white disc glows at the center of the composition, its edges softened and irregular where deep rust-orange and warm pink tones bleed outward around it. The surrounding paper is divided into a grid of panels with a mottled, textured surface — fine cracks, scratches, and layered impressions in rust, brown, and pink — while a deeper rose-red border frames the whole sheet. Small pencil annotations are visible in the lower left corner of the mount.
