A monochromatic, horizontally oriented lithograph with bold, charcoal-like strokes depicts a gnarled tree with thick branches winding in the center. To the left, a rustic barn with an X-shaped brace stands in shadow, while stark white light pours between structures. On the right, a mechanical tool rests on a wooden frame. Dark, gestural blades of grass fill the foreground, framing the dramatic interplay of light and deep shadow.
