Graphite on vertically oriented off-white paper outlines a minimalist landscape with delicate, sparse marks. Near the center, rectangular structures with peaked roofs nestle among loose, swirling lines representing trees. A faint, wavy line runs vertically down the right side. In the lower-left foreground, a few light diagonal lines suggest a building's edge. The composition remains largely unfinished, leaving the vast majority of the paper blank to emphasize the sketch's light quality.
