The image shows a man and a woman next to a stream in a natural landscape. The viewpoint is slightly elevated. The horizon is in the upper third, separating the sky from distant hills and trees. The etching features detailed brushstrokes depicting trees, foliage, and plants. The color palette is monochromatic with black ink on a light background. A woman is on the right side, observing a man reaching towards the water. Tall trees stand behind them, and in the distance, there are rolling hills, trees, and detailed water.
