A black and white print of a landscape portrays on the left side a plain field found in the middle of a small settlement. Two women, several cattle and sheep are standing on the pasture, behind them another plain and animals are seen from a long distance. Next to the field, some houses and a tall building with a steeple are found. On the middle leaning to the right, a narrowed dirt road is shown, right next to it there are two couple of men standing, they are separated by the distance. A man holding a stick and a dog are walking toward the village.
