This painting is mostly red and white. You see two big, rough shapes that look like heads or animals tangled together. One shape has a long, wavy line coming out of it—maybe a tail or hair—with some pencil marks mixed in. The colors are bold, with streaks and splatters of red and a few orange-brown lines. The artist used watercolor and pencil to make the lines look messy but controlled. The red is thick in some spots, almost like it was poured or splashed.
