At the base of the trunk there is a tree hollow.

General Notes

Note

The title of the drawing was handwritten on the back of the original frame, so the title was given posthumously. There is what appears to be a child's drawing on the back of the paper. It was possibly done by one of Taber's nieces or nephews.
