This print shows an architectural structure in the distance surrounded by trees. The foliage closest to us is dense and textured, leading the eye towards the architecture in the distance. A tall, thin tree stands on the left. The horizon is filled with the pointed roofs and tall towers of the large house or castle that fills the center of the print. The sky above is filled with thin, crossing lines. The lines of the print are dark against beige paper.
