Artist, French, 1637 - 1714

The image depicts a scene with several figures on horseback under a canopy of trees. A structure is seen on the right with a person on its steps, interacting with the riders. A bridge spans a body of water on the left, leading to a more open landscape. A solitary figure walks towards the bridge while another stands near a tree. In the distance, a horizon is lined with trees and the sky above is vast. The etching is monochromatic, using intricate line work for textures and forms, hatching for shadows, and depth.
