Rectangular black and white image on a white background. Image shows a thinly drawn pencil sketch in a sketchbook. The sketch depicts two trees in the foreground and a landscape taking up most of the page. The sketch is very light and faint. The trees are drawn with minimal detail and are on the bottom third of the page. The landscape in the background appears to have a body of water in the middle. The sketchbook page takes up most of the image with a small border around it.
