Black and white landscape drawing of a mountain. The mountain is drawn with varying line weights creating a 3D effect. A small structure sits on a flat area on the bottom left. The mountain takes up most of the image with a dark lake or river on the left. A smaller hill juts into the water on the left. Trees are scattered throughout the image. The background fades into lighter tones.
