The etching is detailed with cross-hatching and fine lines defining the forms and textures of the scene. The color palette is monochromatic, with black lines on an off-white background. There are figures on horseback and walking, as well as pigs. Trees frame the houses in the distance. The sky has softly sketched clouds.
