The image depicts a sepia-toned drawing titled "Rural Recreation" by Jean Baptiste Le Prince. The scene shows three people in 18th-century clothing outdoors. A man sits on the left, playing a lute and looking to the right; he has curly hair and wears a long coat and boots. To his right, a woman sits on a rock, looking down; she wears a dress and a headpiece. Behind her, another woman stands, holding the reins of a cow with a calf and another cow behind them. The woman wears a long dress and a hat. A birdcage hangs from a tree on the left. In the background, there are trees and a cloudy sky. The text "La Recreation Champetre" is written at the bottom.
