A horizontally oriented etching in brown ink on tan paper depicts a landscape under a vast sky filled with swirled clouds. A dark, textured hill on the left features a silhouetted windmill against slanted, fine rain lines. To the right, a river recedes toward a distant skyline with two boats moored on the bank. A pale sun glows through hazy clouds. Hand-written inscriptions and a red seal mark the bottom margin.
