The image depicts a landscape view from an elevated position, showing hills, mountains, trees, and classical buildings on the horizon. The engraving technique creates detailed textures in the foliage and terrain, with a color palette of greenish blacks and grays. Two figures are depicted near trees in the foreground, with another two near a river in the distance.
