A horizontally oriented print in black ink on beige paper depicts a rural farmyard with thatched buildings. In the foreground, a figure on horseback leads a second horse across dark, textured ground. Near the central building, several small figures gather, while two stand on a rise to the right. Dense hatching creates deep shadows and a textured sky. French text appears in the margins at the top and bottom right.
