This is a detailed, sepia-toned engraving depicting a mountainous landscape. It's a view of the town of Sarnen, located in the Swiss canton of Obwalden. The scene is dominated by a large, imposing mountain that rises in the center of the composition. The mountain’s slopes are textured with what appears to be rock faces, and some vegetation (mostly trees and brush) is visible.

To the left and right of the central mountain, the terrain slopes downwards. These slopes are covered in denser vegetation and small settlements, indicating the presence of cultivated land. A body of water (likely a lake, possibly the Lake Sarnen) occupies the foreground. The engraving includes people standing on the shore and in a small boat, further emphasizing the scale and providing a sense of place.

The perspective creates a sense of depth, drawing the viewer’s eye from the foreground, across the water, and into the valley formed by the mountains. The entire scene is finely rendered with attention to detail, creating a sense of realism and historical accuracy.

Text along the bottom identifies the image as "VUE DU BOURG DE SARNEN" and also specifies that it was taken on the left of the lake, along the road of "Undervvald Superieur". The text also credits the artist and engraver.
