Vertically oriented pencil marks on cream sketchbook paper depict a landscape through sparse, gestural strokes. To our left, thin lines outline a house, while crisscrossing dashes form a central structure. To our right, rounded loops and squiggles suggest vegetation. Frenzied, curved strokes reach toward the top. Repeated, short scribbles at the bottom indicate grass. Much blank space remains between these light gray remnants, highlighting the paper's texture and the composition's airy quality.
