A horizontally oriented ink and wash drawing depicts two large, gnarled trees with interwoven branches dominating the foreground. Dark, textured trunks are defined by fine black lines, while muted yellow washes color the foliage. To the right, a tall wooden structure stands among a grove of smaller trees. A dirt path leads toward distant, faint buildings. The entire landscape is rendered in gray and ochre tones against a pale, hazy sky.
