The image features a sprawling landscape with natural and architectural elements. In the foreground, a reclining nude figure rests beside a tree with intricate leaves. A dragon-like creature is beside her, while a jug emits light smoke nearby. In the background, there are medieval-style buildings, including a circular fortress and a detailed bridge over a river. The structures are set on rocky terrain, with swirling clouds in the sky above. Among the clouds, a mythological figure riding a lion is depicted. The color scheme is monochromatic with varying shades of greyscale, typical of engraved works.
