Black and white sketch of a landscape with a body of water. A tree stands on a rock on the shore in the foreground on the right. The tree has sparse branches with needles and is tall and thin. Behind the tree on the right are more trees. The background shows a line of trees on the far shore. The water is mostly smooth with minimal lines indicating movement.
