A rectangular drawing of a wall with cypress trees and a square garden in front. It is drawn in pencil and watercolor. It is bound by a rectangular line drawn in pencil. The scene is drawn with linear perspective creating the illusion of three dimensions. In the foreground is a square garden with a large dome like circular bush at its center. Dark olive green and burnt umber watercolors fill the garden. To the left of the garden are sketches suggesting trees in dark red. A wall extends in the background with three short perpendicular walls that extend forward. They are spaced equidistantly apart and have archways cut into them. A sculpture of the female form is placed between the right and center walls. Behind the wall four cypress trees in dark olive-green peek out. The edges of the drawing are unfinished and only pencil lines are drawn. To the right of the drawing are three sketches implying trees with two lines of cursive writing above.
