Landscape and botanical sketch showing a detailed view of an evergreen tree on the bank of the stream in or near Catskill, New York. Dominating the composition at right, the tree's upper branches and boughs are rendered in greater detail than its trunk and lower boughs. In the lower left corner, a view of a stream with rocks, a fallen tree, and other debris and vegetation is faintly rendered. In the lower right corner, an indistinct design--possibly a simplified version of the tree above--is included. Graphite on tan wove paper
