A vertically oriented, dark-brown woodblock depicts a lighthouse on a rocky terrain. The upper right features a domed tower with small rectangular openings above jagged, geometric shapes. Angular lines radiate from the structure across a grooved background. The lower third consists of blocky, carved forms. The entire surface displays a prominent wood grain with textures created by deep gouges and sharp angles where the material was removed.
