A horizontally oriented black chalk drawing depicts a serene river landscape. On the left, a dense thicket of tall, leafy trees extends toward the center. Small birds fly through a pale sky. In the distance, a sailing vessel sits near a smaller group of trees on the right. Several ducks swim in the foreground water. Faint lines border the scene, and a signature marks the lower left corner.
