A horizontally oriented etching in black ink uses dense cross-hatching and stippling to depict a figure hedging. They bend over tangled branches, raising a curved blade. To the left, a gnarled tree stands over a small bag, while a thatched cottage sits on the right. In the distance, rolling hills and a church appear under a sky of sharp, diagonal lines. Intricate, varied marks define the textures of wood, thatch, and earth.
