A horizontally oriented cream paper features an etching of a deep mountain valley. Steep, dark cliffs frame the scene, their surfaces textured with dense hatching. A winding river flows through the flat valley floor in the middle ground. In the background, jagged peaks fill the upper half, where fine, intricate lines create a sense of hazy distance. Contrasting tones of deep black and light gray define the craggy, receding mountains.
