This image is a monochromatic etching or engraving depicting a rustic scene. To the right of the composition, there is a person mounted on a donkey or a small horse, leading a group of animals that appear to be sheep. The figure is characterized by a wide-brimmed hat and is holding what looks like a shepherd's staff or a long pole. The overall attire suggests a pastoral and possibly an agrarian setting. The person appears to be in motion, as indicated by the posture and the alert attention of the sheep, which are closely following behind.
