A horizontally oriented etching depicts a rural landscape through fine, delicate hatching. On the left, tall trees with dense foliage cluster around gabled houses. A simple plank bridge spans a stream in the foreground, with a small figure wearing a hat perched on the right bank. Wispy lines drift like smoke above distant rolling hills in the background. The artist's signature is visible in the lower right corner.
