Horizontally oriented wood engraving in black ink on cream paper features clusters of grapes and jagged leaves. Dense bunches hang right of center and on the far left, composed of circular forms defined by uninked highlights. Scrolling tendrils and splotches of black surround the fruit. Blocky initials "AL" sit bottom left. On the right, a fluid signature and the fraction "22/35" are rendered in thin lines, contrasting with the bold, blocky shapes.
