Black and white pencil drawing of a leafy branch. The branch has several large leaves with wavy edges and visible veins. The leaves are mostly shaded with some areas lighter than others. The leaves are positioned horizontally across the center of the image. The largest leaf is in the center with a smaller leaf to the left. A long thin leaf curves down from the right side. The background is plain white paper with some darker spots. In the bottom-left corner, handwritten text reads "Dec -1855" on one line and "Florence Italy" on the line below. A faint signature "W.T.R." appears to the right of the leaves.
