The image depicts a man and woman struggling against a strong wind beneath a tree. The woman is wearing a billowing garment, while the man is holding onto his hat. Beside them, a tired donkey lies on the ground with a sack on its back. The horizon is not clearly defined, merging with the cross-hatched texture of the etching. The sky above is dark and dramatic, hinting at an impending storm, contrasting with the lighter tones of the ground and figures. The play of light and shadow creates a vivid atmosphere in the monochromatic image.
