The image shows a branch with needles extending from the left, curving towards the right and upwards. The colors are primarily shades of green for the needles, with brown for the branch. The branch is positioned centrally, with its main section starting from the left third of the image and reaching towards the right. The needles fan outwards, creating a reaching effect across the center towards the top-right area of the image. The artist's name, "MESTLER," and the year "1936" are inscribed near the bottom right corner.
