This is a very large painting, almost two metres high and nearly three metres wide. It represents an imagined scene in Morocco. The composition has often been read in three sections. The area in the top left of the painting contains some whitewashed buildings. Below it is a simplified arrangement of yellow fruit and leaves. The right-hand side of the painting is a vertical rose-pink strip whose width is about a quarter of the whole composition. Painted on top of the pink are a number of forms that are not easy to decipher. However, we can tell that in the bottom right of the painting a figure wearing a blue garment is sitting on the ground with his back to us.
