Botanical sketches showing two views of trees, possibly in Jamaica. At left, a tree with long branches that only have leaves on their tips dominates the composition. Its canopy descends from upper left to lower right and its trunk is out of view. At upper right, a much smaller drawing of a tree with a fuller, lush canopy is included. Graphite on dark gray-green wove paper
