Geometric forms fragment a vertical composition containing a woodgrain table with newspapers, a guitar, and a stemmed wine glass. These objects are vividly painted within a V-shaped fragment at center. Muted, shadowlike versions of the objects appear outside it. The outline of the guitar is repeated in the V in brown, green, blue, and black alongside a fragment of brown floral wallpaper.
