Landscape sketch showing the trunks of two large trees growing in front of a board fence, likely in Catskill, New York. Visible at center, one tree is situated in front of the other, as the curving trunk and broken lower bough of the other are visible behind it. Both trees' branches are not visible, as the trunks extend out of frame. Several rocks lay on the ground around the base of the foremost tree. Graphite on white wove paper; verso: graphite
