The image depicts a black and white drawing of a scene from classical mythology. The scene shows several figures and animals. A man wearing a cloth around his waist sits on a rock on the right. He looks to his right and holds a stick in one hand. Behind him are several goats with curved horns. On the left, a woman with long flowing hair sits on a rock. The woman wears a cloth wrapped around her body. She extends her right arm to the left and holds a curved object. In front of her, a baby suckles from a goat. The goat has a collar and a bell. The background shows trees, rocks, and a body of water with a mountain or hill on the right. The sky is cloudy. The overall mood of the drawing appears to be one of serenity and natural beauty.
