A horizontally oriented landscape etching in black ink with fine, detailed lines depicts a cottage with a steep roof and smoking chimney tucked among scrubby bushes. To the right, several tall trees with leafy canopies tower over a rocky path where a small figure and a dog stand. Fine hatching suggests stones and foliage, while the background reveals a calm sea meeting a flat horizon under a pale sky.
