A black and white print depicts a small village. The village’s houses are separated by water; a stone bridge connects the settlement. A man is found sitting on the bridge facing a long tree and the dwellings. A ground dirt road is located on the left of the print, it has tall trees planted, along the way, on both sides of the road. Three female adults are walking on the road and two couples are walking near the bridge.
