Pencil drawing of a mountain landscape. The mountain is large and centered on the page. It has a pointed peak and is covered in snow and shading. In the foreground, there are trees and rocks drawn on the bottom right. The sky above the mountain is blank with some shading on the left. Handwritten text is on the left side. The paper appears aged with a yellowed color and a darker border around it.
