A pencil sketch of a tree on white paper. The tree has a thick trunk and several branches. The branches are bare and extend outwards from the trunk. The trunk and branches are drawn with varying line thicknesses. The background of the sketch is white. The sketch is rectangular with rounded corners and appears to be slightly worn on the left and right edges. A thin black line runs along the bottom edge of the paper. The sketch is set against a plain white background.
