Black and white landscape drawing titled "Cliffs" by Walter Shirlaw. The drawing depicts a large, rugged cliff face on the left side, with varying shades of gray indicating texture and depth. The cliff face has some vegetation on top and appears to be made of rock. The cliff face descends to a sloping area with some trees and bushes in the foreground. In the background, there are distant mountains or hills and a light sky with some clouds. The drawing is framed by a thin black border, and the artist's signature is visible in the bottom-left corner.
