Description
Abstract composition featuring three graphic, non-figurative elements and a large number of elements similar to small stones and slabs. The background of the work is brown, lined with horizontal lines. 
Centred in the upper half of the print is a circular red element seen from above. Its entire surface is cracked, and in the worn centre you can see inlaid rounded protrusions. It is surrounded by a large number of small pebble-like elements of various shapes, in brown gradients, as well as a floor covered in slabs made up of small stones, also in dark brown.
The lower half of the engraving is completely occupied by two elements with irregular, non-geometric outlines. The smaller one is superimposed on the larger one. It also has an ochre base and is infested with cracks. The rounded brown slabs that make it up are concentrated along the edges.
The largest element extends beyond the area of the smallest element. The base is grey and there are many small randomly placed slabs, whitened grey.
