Two twisting trees with dark trunks and loose, feathery branches stand at the right edge of the picture. Pale washes of brown ink describe their foliage, a faint line of low hills and shrubs, and a strip of still water. Soft clouds spread across the upper left.

The image uses only a few tones of brown and grey on warm off-white. Bleeding edges, light washes and plenty of empty paper give it a quiet, contemplative feel.
