A horizontally oriented etching on cream paper depicts a landscape with a person kneeling on a stone slab in the foreground. A large, branching tree dominates the center-right, while slender trees rise along the left. In the distance, a classical cityscape with a circular temple and ruins is rendered in fine brown lines. Delicate hatching creates depth across the terrain, contrasting with the expansive, unshaded sky.
