A large potted fern is placed on a wooden surface, with foliage spreading outwards. The background shows dense trees with dark leaves creating a canopy. The image is in black and white, with various shades of gray. In the lower left corner, two metallic shaker-like objects are partially visible under the fern fronds. The scene shows greenery against a bright sky through the trees.
