content: Unfinished botanical sketch showing a view of an ant's nest on the trunk of a palm tree, out of which two plants grow--possibly a type of night-blooming cereus. Nest and plants are positioned midway up the trunk, and are rendered with some level of detail while the trunk itself remains an outline.
