A horizontally oriented black-and-white lithograph depicts a large tree with heavy foliage looming near the center. An iron fence curves through the foreground over a checkered surface. To the right, intense light hits a geometric building with rounded features, casting sharp, angular shadows. A small, dark object stands on the bright ground. Grainy, stippled textures emphasize the strong contrast between deep blacks and brilliant white surfaces throughout the scene.
