DescriptionThe small painting is vertical in format with a painted ground of green over red. A sphere occupies the lower two-thirds of the composition. A shield shape within the perimeter of the sphere is divided into 4 painted areas with a smaller blue sphere in the center. The two sections on the right are painted, upper is red and lower is white. On the left, the lower section is neutral, while the upper section has an irregular check pattern achieved through the use of press type. The letters C O N appear just above the large sphere. The letters T E N T appear, one in each of the four sections clockwise from the upper left.
