The image is a black and white etching depicting a serene landscape. The scene includes figures on horseback, one leading a cow towards a small boat by the water's edge. Tall trees frame the left side, with detailed branches. Rolling hills lead to the distant horizon, where a bridge and structures are faintly visible. The sky has wispy clouds. The composition relies on varying intensities of line work and shading.
