A framed color lithograph, “Untitled” by William Pajaud. The print uses muted colors to depict the abstract figure of a jazz trumpet player.

There are strokes of pink across his hands and near his left elbow.
The work is signed at bottom center, near the bell of the trumpet: [Pajaud] and inscribed at the bottom left corner: [28/50].
