The light-colored triangular shape of the tent door forms the central focus of this image. The triangle is bisected by a vertical tent post. On each side of the tent, thick brushstrokes descend from the upper edge of the work and curve slightly toward its edges. Several other thick brushstrokes in a variety of dark colors swirl along the lower border of the painting.
