The image is a sketch of a landscape viewed from a low vantage point. The horizon is positioned about a third of the way up from the bottom. On the horizon, there are abstract forms that suggest mountain ranges. The drawing technique uses loose and expressive strokes, creating movement and texture. The color palette is monochromatic, with black or dark graphite on a light beige background, creating a stark contrast. Closest to us, there are angular lines and scribbles suggesting ground textures. Beyond this, shaded areas create undulating terrain leading up to the distant mountains, adding depth to the image. In the background, there is less detail, focusing on the expressive gestures of the mountains.
