A vertically oriented grayscale lithograph depicts a forest stream beneath dense, hatched foliage. On the left, a thick tree trunk stands beside a smaller trunk curving toward the center. In the middle ground, two pale figures bathe in a pool illuminated by light filtering from above. Rocky ledges frame the water in the foreground. In the lower left corner the words: "THE CROOKED TREE." In the lower right: "Bolton Brown"
