Black and white chalk on tan paper depicts a horizontal landscape of dense, wild vegetation. In the center, dark vertical strokes form thick bushes against a sky of white chalk. Small white blossoms highlight the middle ground among tangled branches. To the left, a small cluster of brush sits near the initials J.D. in the bottom corner. Bold, visible strokes define the forms, creating textured contrast against the earthy background.
