The etching features delicate, sketch-like brushstrokes creating an airy and moving effect, especially in the foliage and branches. The color palette is monochromatic, using light and dark gray tones against a white background. Two tree trunks with branches and leaves are prominently featured, with faint outlines of distant structures in the background.
