A horizontally oriented etching in dark ink depicts thirteen men with light skin tones and seventeenth-century attire in an open landscape. Fine hatched lines create shading and texture throughout. On our left, three men stand together. To our right, the remaining ten men form a larger group; some face forward while others have their backs turned. They all wear wide-brimmed hats, heavy cloaks, and knee-high boots.
