The image is an etching of a landscape viewed from a slightly elevated perspective. In the foreground, two figures are riding horses along a curving path. The background shows mountains, hills, and trees. The lines in the etching represent the textures of the land and foliage. The color scheme is black and white, typical of etchings.
