The image depicts a black and white drawing of a forest scene with four people. The people are wearing 18th-century clothing, specifically dresses and hats, with one woman sitting on a tree stump and another on a bench. The woman on the left is breastfeeding a baby while another child stands beside her. The woman on the right has her back to the viewer and appears to be speaking to another woman beside her. The people are positioned in a clearing surrounded by numerous trees of varying sizes. The background features a river with a bridge and buildings on the opposite side. The entire scene is framed by a border, with the artist's signature at the bottom. The title of the work is "The Picnic" and it is by Alexandre Moitte.
