The monochrome colours, shades of grey and black, are the same on both sides of the vertical division of the design, but are contrasted in the manner of painting. The left side is evenly painted throughout, but on the right hand side the edges of some of the rectangles are faintly repeated as blurred shapes in the background. This follows earlier paintings by Huxley in which one half of the design was painted in greys and the other coloured.
