This abstract color print is composed of a representation of a nearly complete circle of color, sweeping across the picture plane from the upper right corner to the lower left corner. The upper right corner of the print cuts off the completion of the circle shape. The band of color forming the shape is about an inch wide, and it includes red, yellow, blue, gray, black, and green. Some of the colors are sharply defined, while the pigment of others bleeds.
