This drawing depicts a pastoral scene with classical figures. In the center, a satyr is shown interacting with a goat. To the left, a figure is holding a garland, possibly a deity, accompanied by a putto or cherub-like being. On the right, a bust is mounted on a plinth next to a tree. The drawing is executed in fine lines and shading, typical of classical or neoclassical themes. The composition is enclosed in an oval frame.
