A horizontally oriented black chalk drawing on tan paper depicts the Palace of Versailles stretching across the middle ground and a calm body of water reflecting the pale sky in the foreground. To the right, shadowy figures stand upon a dark, textured bank near sketchy trees. Faint handwriting in the bottom right corner reads "Versailles." A double-lined border frames the atmospheric composition, which is rendered with loose, expressive lines.
