1. On the left, there is a body of water with many birds, possibly ducks, both on the water and in the air. It looks like a river or a marshy area since there are reeds and plants in the water.

2. In the bottom left corner, there's a small boat partially submerged in the water, suggesting abandonment or neglect.

3. The background features a skyline of a town or city with discernible buildings, spires, and what seem like defensive walls, indicating the scene might be set in the vicinity of a settlement.

5. There is also a large, arched structure—perhaps a trellis or dedicated growing frame for plants like vines or gourds.

6. Trees border the scene, with a noticeably larger tree on the right side where another figure is sitting, perhaps resting or observing the garden.

7. The image is bordered with Latin text that seems to convey proverbial or poetic statements. On the left, it says, "Sic per et infidas fuso la in retia molis," and on the right, it reads, "Allectatur aves, carnæ per dumenta natantes."

The image is an intricate black and white etching that depicts a serene and detailed scene of duck hunting. The setting appears to be a wooded lakeshore or riverbank.

In the foreground and extending to the left, there is a body of water with numerous ducks swimming and flying, indicating the natural habitat of the ducks. To the far left, a small boat is shown with two figures seated inside, apparently observing or waiting.

The central part of the image focuses on an enclosure made of reed or wood fencing which contains a vast number of ducks. The detailed depiction includes a dome-shaped structure likely designed as a trapped space for ducks, and a man is depicted crouching by the entrance of a smaller cage or trap, potentially setting it up or checking it.

A large tree is depicted just beyond the enclosure, and numerous leafy trees surround the area, showing that the enclosure is in a wooded area.

In the lower portion of the image, there is a Latin inscription: "Sic per et insidias sinuosa in retia mollis-Allectatur Anas, cane per dumeta natante." which roughly translates to "Thus by tricks and traps the duck is lured into the winding nets with the dog swimming through the bushes." Likely, this describes the hunting technique being depicted.

This scene, rendered in fine lines and abundant in details, provides a vivid representation of traditional duck hunting methods involving decoys and enclosures.
