The image depicts a black-and-white drawing titled "Summer Day" by Charles-Émile Jacque. A man wearing a large hat leans on a wooden fence. The man wears a long-sleeved shirt and pants. He holds a stick in one hand. In front of him to the right, a smaller person sits on a rock; the person faces away from the viewer towards the man. The smaller person wears a short-sleeved top and a long skirt; they have no shoes on. Behind the man and the fence are sheep. To the left and right are trees. The image is in a landscape orientation. The background has cross-hatching and shading typical of etchings. The overall scene depicts a pastoral setting. The text "L'ETE" appears at the bottom centre.
