Circles are arranged in offset rows against a white background on this square canvas. Full round circles are pale gray across the center, and the shapes gradually darken as they flatten into ovals that become more elongated as they near the top and bottom edges. This creates the visual impression that the center bulges out at the viewer and curves away at the top and bottom.
