The image displays flat, bold shapes in an abstract composition. A large brown silhouette of a horse with a pink rider is on a cream background. A figure resembling a running moose is nearby in a light brown tone. Simple, abstract floral forms with thick outlines surround the central figures, resembling oversized daisies with green stems and multicolored petals. The borders of the image are irregular and jagged, composed of blocks of blue and pink, creating a dynamic frame around the central scene.
