The image depicts a black and white sketch of a rural scene titled "The Shower: St. Jean-de-Monte" by Auguste Louis Lepère. The scene shows a woman and a child standing on the left side, with the woman wearing a long dress and the child in her arms. To their right is a thatched roof hut with smoke coming out of two chimneys. In front of the hut is a wooden bucket on a stand and some wooden planks on the ground. There are trees and bushes on the right side of the image, and a church steeple is visible in the background. The sky is filled with diagonal lines suggesting rain. The overall atmosphere suggests a rainy day in a rural setting. The image is drawn on a light brown paper background.
