Black and white sketch of a mountain range. The sketch is on two joined pieces of paper. The mountain range is drawn across the right half of the image. It has several peaks and appears to be drawn from a distance. The mountains are drawn with varying shades of gray, with the furthest mountain being lighter. The mountains are reflected on the water in the foreground. The water appears calm. The sky is light gray and has some darker shading towards the left. The artist's signature appears in the bottom right corner. The signature is in black. The background behind the sketch is plain and white.
