Smudged and brushed ink on off white paper depicts an abstract landscape. Roughly the top third of the sheet is given to the sky, depicted in pale white brushstrokes, barely visible against the paper. An area of dense foliage in dark olive smudges occupies the middle of the sheet in a wedge shape that grows wider from left to right. Along the bottom, bright green indicates a grassy field, and from it a light tan triangle narrowing up and to the left leads into the forest.
