Description

A painting of a woode scene with an urn. A tree with no hint of leaves is the central focus, and a sturdy urn made of some heavy stone sits directly to the left of the tree. The background is composed of several other trees, and half of another urn can be seen on the far right hand side. Swirling green in the background indicates a lush and leafy forest. Painted on masonite. Included wrapping from when archived with a note attached that may have been written by John Seiberling (see image).
