The image depicts a pastoral scene with cows near a river, trees in the background, rolling hills, and mountains in the distance. Linear details create textures on the cows, grass, trees, and hills. Birds fly in the sky above, giving a tranquil atmosphere. The monochromatic palette uses varying shades of gray through intricate linework typical of an etching technique.
