This etching has a grey and white all-over grid pattern. Thicker, light grey lines make up the main grid and individual squares from this pattern are broken into smaller quadrants of small white rectangles. The print uses lighter tones towards the center and outer corners of the work. Darker grey tones are used between these areas. The work is printed on ivory wove paper. The print is signed, dated, and numbered (l.r.) "Longo 70 4/45" in pencil.
