The image is an etching of a rural landscape from a slightly elevated viewpoint. The horizon is low and unobtrusive, separating the land and sky. A wooden bridge is on the left middle of the scene, surrounded by dense clusters of trees and shrubs depicted with detailed lines. To the left, there is a wooden fence leading into a path among the trees. In the distance, a faint outline of a boat on water can be seen. The black and white palette includes shadows and fine lines, creating a detailed composition. The sky has wispy clouds, allowing the detailed texture of the trees to stand out.
