The image depicts a large, gnarled tree dominating the scene from an eye level perspective. The horizon is indicated beneath the tree's lower branches by a line of clouds. Fine lines suggest billowing cumulus clouds in the sky. The illustration style uses detailed black ink lines to show the tree's twisted bark. The color palette is monochromatic, with black ink against white paper for contrast. A human figure is seated at the base of the tree.
