A gelatin silver print depicts a vertically oriented cobweb covered in hundreds of tiny water droplets. The web hangs over dark foliage, including long blades of grass on our left and a lobed leaf in the center. Strong contrast highlights bright beads against dark shadows of broader leaves in the upper right. Numerous droplets clinging to fine threads create a dense, granular texture across the center of the composition.
