A horizontally oriented drypoint print in black ink depicts a man with his back to us leading a herd of swine through a rugged landscape. He wears a dark hat and carries a staff toward tall, densely hatched trees on the right. To the left, small birds fly in a pale sky. Frenzied, layered lines and cross-hatching define the terrain and animals. A signature sits in the lower right margin.
