Artist, French, 1615 - 1675

The image depicts a landscape with two figures in a pastoral setting. A horizon line divides the land and sky, with distant mountains visible. The scene is detailed with fine cross-hatching, typical of etching. The color palette is monochrome, using shades of gray and sepia tones. Trees arch over the landscape and a rider on horseback travels along a winding path. Clouds are subtly depicted in the sky above.
