This is an etching depicting a scene with people under a leafy canopy. The central group includes two reclining adults, a man and a woman, both wearing draped clothing. A child rests on the lap of the woman and has a halo of light around their head. They rest under large trees and are surrounded by branches and logs. To the left of the group, a donkey sits on the ground. Above the donkey, there is an opening in the foliage, showing a distant cliff or rock face. The color scheme is monochrome, with dark lines on off-white paper.
