The image shows a white, rectangular piece of paper with rounded corners. The paper has faint pencil sketches on it. The sketches appear to be of tree branches. The top edge of the paper is attached to a thin, gray metal bar. The metal bar spans the width of the paper and has two small, dark-colored pieces on either end. The paper has a slight shadow underneath it. The background of the image is solid white. The image is titled "Sketches of Trees (from Sketchbook)" and attributed to "Albert Bierstadt".
