This image features a vase of flowers on a small round table. These objects take up much of the pictorial plane, which is surrounded by a thick decorated border done in thick strokes which is suggestive of a frame. The objects in the work are outlined heavily in black but also feature reds, blues, oranges, yellows and greens. There is an implied background to the scene made up of a patch of blue and white to the left of the scene and teal to the right. The frame features areas of black and gray with lighter overlying strokes. These strokes transition in color as one's eyes move around the perimeter of the frame, from reds at top to gray and then orangey-pink at right, to blues at bottom left to greens at lower left, to grays and greens at upper left. Additions of white are also added to pick out details and shine on the frame.

Hommage a Fernand Mourlot 180/250
The center of the print is the profile of a woman’s head, shoulder and right hand against a green background. One hand extends forward, pointing with one finger. Her eyes, swathed in dark lines, are closed or looking downward, and her nose and lips are flat against her face, and a dark circle hangs from her ear. Her head faces several bright colored forms, presumably flowers, which hover just above her hand. Her head is covered by a multi-pastel colored cloth, and she wears a blue-green garment. Thick black lines cut through vivid greens, pinks, and blues across the print, articulating and defining the form.
