The companion piece to its ascending counterpart, this chart maps the descent through mountain zones with equal rigour — documenting how flora shifts and thins as altitude falls toward the valley floor. The composition mirrors the ordered logic of nineteenth-century scientific illustration: terrain rendered in cross-section, each ecological band labelled and annotated in careful hand-lettering. Warm tonal washes distinguish the zones, creating a visual rhythm that is as satisfying aesthetically as it is informative. A document of how the natural world organises itself with quiet authority.

On cotton canvas, the educational chart reads as archival painted study. The weave lends the tonal washes a dusty, parchment-like warmth and softens the hand-lettered annotations into something closer to a naturalist's wall panel. As a canvas print, the scientific rigour of the cross-section gains the tactile depth and object presence of a museum display rather than a printed page.
