The image shows a snake on rocky formations. The viewer looks at the scene directly. The horizon is hinted at the top of the rocks. The etching style uses consistent lines for texture and depth, especially in the shading of the rocks. The color palette is monochromatic, with dark and light contrasts typical of ink drawings. The snake is among the rocks, contrasting with the linear texture of the landscape.
