The image shows an old, gnarled tree with vultures perched on its branches. The horizon is low in the composition, with distant hills barely visible. The lithograph uses shading and cross-hatching to depict depth and texture in the sky and tree bark. The color palette consists of varying shades of gray and black. There are dynamic cloud formations in the sky, with vultures soaring, creating a desolate atmosphere.
