A vertically oriented ink and wash drawing on cream paper depicts a gnarled tree with reaching branches. Stark black ink lines define the form, while patches of gray wash and clusters of rectangular strokes provide texture. To the left, five metal binder rings line the sketchbook page's edge. Much of the composition remains the pale cream color of the paper, emphasizing the tree's upward movement against the sparse, atmospheric background.
