The painting features a dark background with five irregularly shaped, light-colored strips. The top strip contains the word "FRAGMENTS" in a handwritten, red font. Below it, the phrase "12 LITHOGRAPHS BY GARO Z. ANTREASIAN" is written in the same style. The bottom strip displays the year "1961" in smaller text. The strips are arranged in a staggered formation, with each one overlapping the one below it. The background is a solid, dark color that provides contrast to the lighter strips. The overall effect of the painting is one of simplicity and elegance, with the bold, red text standing out against the dark background. For more on the artist behind this piece, look up Garo Antreasian.
