A vertically oriented print in black ink on cream paper depicts stylized, angular text at its center. Above, a sinuous pine branch with needles and cones arches from our left. Below, a dense cluster of textured, lobed oak leaves extends horizontally from a vertical trunk. A thin line border frames the composition, with a cursive signature and the numbers "22/35" tucked into the lower right corner.
