Unfinished botanical sketch showing a view of an ant's nest on the trunk of a palm tree, out of which two plants grow--possibly a type of night-blooming cereus. Nest and plants are positioned midway up the trunk, and are rendered with some level of detail while the trunk itself remains an outline. Graphite on tan wove paper
