The work is made up of two canvases with different formats placed one against the other – the larger one is viewed from the recto, the other one from the verso – which hold down a crumpled, transparent polyethylene sheet.
The same theme was developed in two other variants from the same year (GPO-0267, GPO-0269), along with which it is part of a series of eleven works with the same title (at times followed by a different date), made between 1973 and 1974 (GPO-0258, GPO-0259, GPO-0260, GPO-0262, GPO-0263, from GPO-0267 to GPO-0270, GPO-0273, GPO-0274).
