Black and white etching of a rural scene. A man wearing a hat and with his back to the viewer walks on a dirt path between tall trees. The man appears to be wearing a long shirt with billowy sleeves and pants tucked into boots. His left arm is extended and holding a long tool like a spade or hoe with a curved blade. The man appears to be walking away from a field that has been tilled. He walks on a path surrounded by low bushes. The trees are tall and thin. The image is densely crosshatched with lines. The title is "Returning from Tilling the Land" and the artist is Alphonse Legros.
