Print
A vertically oriented print in black ink with dense, sketchy lines depicts a wooded landscape. On our right, two slender birch trees with dark, textured bark rise. Fine, layered lines fill the upper scene, suggesting leafy branches. In the lower center, a small figure stands in tall grass, facing away toward a bright, hazy background. Dense, overlapping strokes create a hilly slope on the left, while illegible text marks the bottom corner.
