The artwork presents a stylized depiction of the Eiffel Tower, viewed through an open window framed by billowing curtains. The iconic structure is portrayed with bold, abstracted shapes and rich hues of red and yellow, contrasted against a backdrop of soft, muted colors. The visual complexity and dynamic composition draw attention to the interplay of geometrical forms and the vibrant energy of urban life. The scene is infused with a sense of movement and modernity, embodying the key principles of Orphism to emphasize pure visual sensation over representational accuracy.
