A landscape drawing of a grove of trees with a cluster of structures and a mountain in the distance.

A brown ink landscape drawing of a grove of several crooked trees with many knot holes in their gnarled trunks. The trees are full of foliage and the landscape around them is littered with shrubs and vegetation. Under a cloudy sky, two conversing figures recline on a winding path that snakes from the foreground all the way to a cluster of structures in the far distance. Framed by a dome of trees, a roofed building and a tower sit behind sections of wall that have repeating archways. A sunlit mountain rises above the structures.
