A vertically oriented etching in monochromatic gray tones features a thick, hatched tree trunk on the left. A small, leafy shrub sits near a body of water in the foreground. Beyond, tall, spindly trees with sparse canopies are rendered with delicate, wispy lines against a pale sky. Grainy, short strokes and fine cross-hatching suggest foliage across the bank. A signature appears in the lower right margin.
