A colorless print depicts a small community in the countryside. Three plots are situated on the left side of the image growing small crops, and next to it a road is shown, and four figures are crossing the road from right to the left: a person on a horse, another one walking solo and a couple in front of them. On the right side of the print several houses are seen, and two windmills can be found behind them.
