The painting depicts a landscape with several trees. The artwork, titled "Cypresses" by Ikeda Koson, features a group of trees, predominantly cypresses, drawn in black ink on a beige background. The trees are of varying heights and have distinctive trunks and branching patterns. The trunks are thick and straight, while the branches are thinner and more curved. Some of the trees have sparse foliage, while others appear bare. The painting is divided into two panels, and there is a red border around the artwork, with a wider beige border inside. The background of the painting is a light beige color, with subtle gradations of tone that suggest depth and texture. The artwork is set against a dark grey background.
