A horizontally oriented etching in shades of gray on cream paper depicts an expansive marsh landscape. In the foreground, dense, vertical hatching suggests thick, wild grasses. A winding river flows from the right, cutting through a hazy center toward two birds flying in the distance. On the left, a cluster of slender, spindly trees rises from the bank. The signature D. C. Sturges is inscribed in the bottom margin on the right.
