Black and white pencil drawing of a tree trunk with exposed roots. The trunk is thick and gnarled, with visible knots and grooves. It extends from the bottom left corner to the top left. The roots are twisted and curved, some of which are exposed above ground. The background features more tree trunks and branches, with some shading to suggest depth. The image is titled "Sketch from Nature" and created by Asher Brown Durand.
