A horizontally oriented graphite drawing on off-white paper depicts a light, sketchy island abbey. Within a thin rectangular border, clustered buildings and a central spire rise from a rocky base in the middle ground. In the foreground, broad horizontal strokes represent tidal flats where two tiny, dark figures stand toward our right. The upper portion is left largely blank, emphasizing the delicate, ethereal rendering of the island across the water.
