A vertically oriented etching in dark-inked sketchy lines depicts a courtyard scene. In the foreground, several turkeys peck at the ground. To the left, a woman in a long dress stands beside a large stone planter with a turkey on its rim. Behind her, an exterior staircase leads to a balcony where figures appear in doorways. Fine cross-hatching and loose strokes create the composition on a light-colored surface.
