Graphite on a vertically oriented page depicts a loose, rectangular sketch centered in the upper half. A bulbous pot with horizontal ridges holds a thin, sprouting plant with a circular bud. To its left, a small penguin figure is rendered with heavy, dark pencil strokes. These objects rest upon a horizontal ledge. Simple, vertical and curved lines fill the background, while sketchy, varying weights of pencil define the organic and inanimate forms.
