This is a drawing of a landscape with a reclining female figure and child, along with a castle in the background. The image features a serene landscape with a nude female figure lying on her side next to a child standing beside her. The background includes trees, hills, and a castle under a partly cloudy sky. The engraving shows complex textures such as the stone of the castle, the shading of the human forms, and details of the natural landscape. The inscription at the top reads "S. Iohanes. Crisostomus."
