A vertically oriented ink drawing on paper depicts a gnarled tree rising from a snowy slope, textured with dense black cross-hatching. Footprints trail from the bottom center toward dark, solid ink shadows under the branches. In the upper right, a bold black serif letter "T" sits within a square frame. The signature "Watt Drake" appears at the lower right. Stark white space contrasts with the heavy black ink details.
