A vertically oriented pen and ink drawing on off-white paper depicts a cluster of wheat stalks. Slender, wiry lines form stems that arch outward, ending in drooping grain heads with fine, hair-like bristles. At the base, short, irregular marks and dabs suggest tufts of grass. The composition uses delicate, gestural lines to convey movement, with the tallest stalks reaching upward into the empty background.
