A horizontally oriented etching and mezzotint in brown ink depicts a high-contrast forest scene. In the center, Hesperie, a woman with a light skin tone, sits by a stream with her back turned and hands raised to her head. On our right, Aesacus, a man with a light skin tone, peers from behind a thick tree trunk. Text at the bottom reads "AESACUS AND HESPERIE."
