The image is a black and white etching of a scene showing a rowboat on water. Two figures are in the boat, one sitting with an oar and the other standing and looking into the distance. The boat has a small enclosed structure on the right. On the shore, there are figures with animals. Trees are scattered around, with one tall tree in the foreground. The high horizon includes clouds and birds. The etching has detailed line work showing textures in the scene. The contrast of light and dark defines forms and evokes a sense of place.
