This print displays a rural landscape with two thatched-roof cottages in front of a low hill. Surrounding the structures are trees and several groupings of people engaged in different activities. On the left, a person carries a bundle of long sticks, while on the right a person sits on the ground, surrounded by tall plants. The sky above has large clouds drifting across it. Fine lines and cross-hatching create texture and depth against the beige background.
