The poster primarily depicts a composition in yellowish-brown and greenish tones. The main element is several broken and aged pencils, which are crossed and arranged diagonally across the image. The pencils have rounded, slightly worn ends, and their surface shows visible cracks and an irregular texture. Some of the pencils have a darker, almost black tip, which appears burnt. The background is uniform, in a light sand color with a slight texture resembling paper or fabric. In the lower part, there is a narrower horizontal stripe with a greenish hue, which looks slightly faded. At the bottom of the poster, there is a small rectangular area with text written in a simple serif font.
