The image depicts a landscape with a waterway, foliage, and distant hills. Vertical trees punctuate the horizon. The etching style shows lines and crosshatching for depth. The color scheme is monochromatic, from deep blacks to lighter tones. Sheep are resting near the water, with buildings and trees in the distance over a bridge.
