You see a big tree filling most of the space with its branches and trunk. The tree is drawn from a ground-level view, which makes it look really big. The artist used a technique called cross-hatching to create texture and depth. This makes the tree look detailed and realistic. Check out the work of artist: Hassam, Childe to see more of this style.
