This black and white landscape represents a desert landscape with barren trees. In the middle ground the trees are tall, skinny, and spiked, mixed with cactus and brush.
A man wearing a hat and overcoat and carrying a staff stands with his dog at the left of the image. He looks back toward a flock of sheep, which is gathered in a V-shaped formation on a pasture hillside.
This image is created with black ink on paper. It represents a large building on a hill, overlooking a cityscape (downtown Birmingham, Alabama). In the foreground, two nuns wearing large habits walk on a wooded circular drive in front of the building.
