A horizontally oriented etching and mezzotint in brown ink on cream paper depicts woodcutters on a sloping hill. In the foreground, figures with light skin tones saw and haul heavy logs. Tall, spindly trees dominate the center, revealing distant buildings and rolling hills through the gaps between them. A gnarled stump anchors the lower right corner. Fine, delicate lines define textured foliage while the pale sky remains clear, detailing rural labor.
