A horizontally oriented print in black ink with fine lines depicts a residential backyard. A tall basketball hoop stands centrally over a concrete patio. To the right, horizontal lines texture a house with a porch where a small figure sits. On the left, a puffy, flowering tree grows near a grill. Grainy marks define the foreground grass and sapling. Rooftops and gables rise in the background against a pale, clear sky.
