You see a watercolour painting of a landscape with trees and a stream. The artist, John White Abbott, was known for his detailed studies of trees. He often painted on multiple sheets of paper, like this one, which was done on six separate sheets laid down on one piece of paper. This technique is similar to what you'd see if you looked up the work of artist Abbott, John White.
