The image shows a scene of three children and a dog relaxing on the grass. Two white houses with simple architecture are partially obscured by trees and shadows. The style is detailed with cross-hatching for texture and shading, resembling an engraving. The color palette is monochrome in sepia tones. Closest to the viewer is a boy lying on his stomach, with a group nearby. In the background, an older woman tends to chickens near one of the houses. The setting is shaded by trees, with laundry hanging in the distance.
