The image depicts a black and white sketch of a tree. The trunk of the tree is large and gnarled. A knot protrudes on the lower left of the trunk. A branch curves up and to the right then back down to the bottom right. A smaller branch extends towards the upper right corner from the top right side of the branch. A third branch extends towards the upper left corner. The right side of the image is mostly blank space. The sketch appears to be done in pencil. Study of a Tree, by Albert Bierstadt.
