On the left side of a woman in a white outfit stands in the foreground, facing away from the viewer. In the middle distance lies a low brick crenellated wall; in front of it a table covered in a white cloth has flowers and crockery on top. To the left of the table stand two more women dressed in white. behind the wall are trees to the left, a city scape and a flock of birds in the sky. In the middle of the picture jagged multi-coloured lines around a view to a calm body of water come down into a set of glowing blue rings. On the right side the same brick wall crossed through the middle distance. In front of the wall two women walk towards the upper left corner, and behind the wall a futuristic city scape with tall buildings and a spiked tower can be seen.
