A sketch of a mountain range; rectangular in shape. The mountains are drawn on paper with the peaks on the right side and slopes on the left; faint pencil marks indicate the outline of several mountain peaks; there are visible pencil marks around the edges; some areas appear smudged. The background of the sketch is blank and light gray. The image shows a thin black border around the edge.
