The image is an etching depicting a rustic village scene with thatched-roof buildings, surrounded by trees. The point of view is straight-on, with a low horizon line. The etching employs detailed line work to emphasize texture and form. The color palette is monochromatic, using shades of black and gray. Two birds are seen flying in the sky. The trees vary in height and depth in the composition.
