A naked man sits in a tree hugging his knees, his bare feet dangling. Behind him is a lake or river with elephants grazing. A bird wades through a marsh in the foreground. The man has short hair and appears beardless, perhaps a boy, although one has to wonder about priorities in a world with barbers but no clothing. The youth is sitting in a nest, perhaps made by the bird we see. Creepers dangle from the tree.

The Tertiary Period was thought in the nineteenth Century to be a geological period roughly corresponding to the post-Flood period in the Bible.
