A horizontally oriented graphite drawing with sketchy, hatched lines depicts a pond. On the right, tall, dense trees with dark, textured foliage dominate the composition. A low wooden bridge extends toward the left, where a small figure sits facing right. Blank paper represents the clear sky and the reflecting water in the foreground. Sparse, horizontal marks suggest the water's surface, while light, scribbled strokes define the grassy banks and distant woods.
