Charcoal and watercolor sketch on white paper, mounted on thick paper. Sketch shows shell torn buildings and trees on the right, and a church in the background on the left. The buildings have damaged roofs, and the trees look like they're dead. The church seems unharmed by shelling. There are fields in the distance.
