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. The background of the image is plain white.
