Tree Fern and Grasses, Ecuador

Verso: Botanical sketch showing a view of a tree fern and nearby grasses in Ecuador. Rising along the vertical axis at center, the treefern has a scaly, spiny trunk and swirling, tendril-like branches that unfurl like those of a fern. Below it, long blades of grass or perhaps the tops of bamboo trees are visible. Graphite on off-white wove paper
