Black and white pencil drawing on white paper. A thin black line borders the top and bottom edges. The drawing depicts a low-resolution sketch of a landscape. A country lane stretches across the bottom right portion. A wooden fence runs across the bottom half. Trees line the right side, with bare branches and foliage. A tree with bare branches stands on the right. More trees are visible in the background, with varying levels of detail. The left side of the drawing is mostly blank.
