A vertically oriented etching in brown ink depicts a herd of cattle winding through a wooded landscape. In the foreground, a cow and calf stand beside a stream beneath dense, cross-hatched foliage. A herdsman on a grassy rise to the right raises a staff toward a vast, cloud-filled sky. Text below identifies the scene as "THE RETURNING HERD" in serif capital letters.
