National Gallery of Art

The image shows an etching of a rural scene. Two horses and a human figure on horseback are depicted. One horse is near a trough, while the other horse, with the rider, is drinking from it. The rider is dressed plainly with a wide-brimmed hat. In the background, a figure is walking on a path. The sky has soft clouds. The focus is on the foreground, with detailed animal forms and intricate linework creating a tranquil atmosphere.
