A square, dark brown woodblock with rough, chiseled edges depicts a landscape featuring a tall, tapering lighthouse on the right. Topped with a peaked roof and window openings, the tower rises above gabled buildings at its base and center. Deep horizontal grooves cut across the left, while vertical gouges define the structures. Visible wood grain and recessed lines create a textured, monochromatic relief where light and shadow play across the carved and raised surfaces.
