The image is dominated by a blue sky with clouds, it is orange at the horizon, though the sun is not visible. The foreground is a sea of green theater seats, leading down very far to a stage. An image on a curtain or screen on the stage shows two closed fists meeting knuckles-to-knuckles. The left fist is red with a gold hammer and sickle. The right fist has the Stars and Stripes of the American flag. A tall overhead fan on a post rises from the seats on the right.

A theater stage, with people's heads in the foreground and an orange sky in the background. An image on a curtain or screen on the stage shows two closed fists meeting knuckles-to-knuckles. The left fist is red with a gold hammer and sickle. The right fist has the Stars and Stripes of the American flag. A tall overhead fan on a post rises from the seats on the right. The corner of a large chess board can be seen peeking out from below the curtain in the center of the stage. An American flag hangs to the left of the stage (from the viewer's perspective).
