Rectangular plaque with a landscape scene. A large tree with a thick trunk and sprawling branches stands on a grassy bank. The tree has green leaves and is positioned on the right side of the image. Three cows stand on the bank in front of the tree. The cow on the left is brown, the one in the middle is white with brown spots, and the one on the right is mostly obscured. A body of water is on the right side. The background features more trees and a cloudy sky. The image has a cracked, mosaic-like texture. Title: Plaque. Artist: Charles Volkmar.
