A horizontal softground etching depicts a landscape where rectangular stone slabs border still water. A path winds toward the right where figures stand, one gesturing toward the horizon. Expressive dashes convey dense foliage on trees filling the middle ground. In the far background, a multi-arched stone bridge spans a river beneath hazy, undulating mountains.
