An irregularly shaped trapezoid with six differently colored strips running horizontally across it. The right-hand side of the painting is larger than the left-hand side, so that its perimeters slopes from right to left. The six bands of color—purple, pink-red, blue, light-pink-red, blue-green, and orange—run horizontally across the canvas. The top three strips incline down, and the bottom three strips incline up.
