The image shows an abstract composition on the right page with bold, jagged lines forming a humanoid figure surrounded by a dark, purple background merging into flowing shapes. The upper part contains stylized text "Georg Heym" and "Umbra Vitae," and below are two circular shapes suggestive of eyes. The left page features a handwritten note.
