The image shows a large, old tree with gnarled and twisted branches extending into empty space. The horizon is not visible. The artist employed a style of sketching, with lines creating a textured depiction of the bark and branches. The background is unadorned, highlighting the tree. The color palette consists of brown and gray against a tan canvas. Twigs and branches extend around the tree, with shading enhancing the dimensionality.
