An etching and mezzotint in brown tones depicts a horizontal landscape dominated by a wooden windmill on a hill in the center-left. Below, in the foreground, open wooden canal lock gates frame a light-colored horse near leafy plants. Scattered figures populate the midground, including one resting near cattle on the right. On the distant horizon, a small stone bridge sits beneath a wide sky filled with soft, rippling clouds.
