The image features a sketch of a tree drawn from a direct frontal perspective. The tree has sparse foliage with curvy lines for leaves and a bold trunk. A fence runs horizontally in the background, separating the foreground from distant scenery. Behind the fence, there are figures, rooftops, and trees sketched with minimal lines. The drawing is monochromatic with varying intensities of ink on off-white paper.
