This painting is an abstract landscape scene with a grey building in the background against a dark blue sky.  There are multi-colored blocks, a red ball and a silver coil scattered in the middle of the image.  The ground is broken up into patches of grey, red, purple, and yellow. A wall-ike structure is included on the left side of the image, casting a shadow to its left and a canvas with a painting on it faces the viewer on the right. The bottom of the image is a block of lavender color with white text reading "Pittura Metafisica."
