A horizontally oriented engraving depicts a dramatic landscape bisected by a low horizon under swirling, gray-streaked clouds. In the foreground, a seated shepherd plays a flute amidst a flock of sheep. To the right, spindly, wind-swept trees reflect in a dark stream. A village steeple rises in the distance among rolling hills. Finely detailed cross-hatching creates deep shadows, while Latin text lines the bottom margin.
