A horizontally oriented lithograph depicts a stark, monochromatic rural landscape under a heavy, grain-textured sky. Thick telephone wires sweep from the upper right, dotted with perching birds. Below, a curving dirt road leads toward farm buildings and a tall silo. A row of utility poles recedes toward a bright band of light at the horizon. Stippled shading creates the dark, brooding texture of the clouds, fields, and a gnarled tree.
