This image features a piece of paper with a small, rectangular card affixed to the upper left corner. The card provides particulars about an artwork, such as the artist or school, title, accession number, and the permission note regarding reproduction rights from the Fogg Museum of Art at Harvard University. The title of the artwork is "The Courtyard of the Fogg Art Museum" and the specified date is September of 1951.

Below the card, there are strokes and dabs of yellowish paint applied directly to the paper. These strokes are not obviously representative of any particular form or object, and they resemble the kind of marks that might be made by an artist testing colors or brush strokes on a spare piece of paper. The paint has different thicknesses and textures, suggesting the use of a brush with varying pressure and movement. The paper background is off-white and has slightly curved lower edges, indicating it might be a bit worn or not perfectly flat.
