A vertically oriented etching in black ink depicts a woman with light skin standing under a gnarled tree. She wears a long dress and cap, looking down while holding a staff. In the foreground, turkeys forage on uneven ground rendered with dense, fine lines. Detailed foliage fills the background on our left, opening to a light sky on our right. Text at the bottom reads "LA GARDEUSE DE DINDONS."
