A somewhat distorted seated figure strumming a guitar dominates this vertical composition. The figure wears a long sleeved collared shirt. His lap is obscured by a blanket. The lower half of the figure appears somewhat disjointed from the rest of his form, his legs shifted slightly to the left side of the composition. He is rendered in black contour line with the upper torso in white except the hands and the lower torso and hands in grey. A matrix of lines inhabits the space surrounding him. The artist has layered colors around the figure red, muted purple, grey, orange, and brown. In the lower left hand corner of the composition, there is an abstract architectural form, similar to a tower topped by a spire.
