A horizontally oriented wood engraving depicts a rural landscape under a banded sky. In the lower third, a dark wooden fence angles from the bottom right toward the center. In the middle ground, textured farm buildings include a leaning silo and long barn where a single cow grazes. Rendering the scene in monochrome, rhythmic lines and cross-hatching convey textures of wood and earth, contrasting with the pale horizon between dark hills and sky.
