A vertically oriented lithograph in black ink on white paper features a central clearing framed by two tall, dark masses of dense, scribbled strokes. In the center, a low rectangular structure sits amid light gray markings. Small dark spots resembling flowers are scattered across the foreground, while light vertical strokes fill the upper background. The grainy, textured image is surrounded by wide, unprinted paper margins.
