The image is an intricately detailed black and white etching, which depicts a serene and expansive lake surrounded by mountainous terrain. The mountains in the background are rugged with prominent ridges and peaks, giving a sense of depth and grandeur to the landscape.

In the foreground, to the right, there is a cluster of trees providing a natural frame to the scene. Beneath the trees, there are small structures that appear to be cottages or huts, suggesting human habitation or a resting spot. On the lower left, two figures are seen in what looks like a small boat on the lake, adding a touch of life to the tranquil waters.

The lake itself occupies a significant portion of the image, reflecting the mountains and the sky above. The water appears calm, enhancing the peacefulness of the scene. This picturesque setting likely represents a well-known location, as the upper part of the image contains inscriptions in German that indicate a particular lake and region, perhaps "Auf dem Vierwaldstätter See, bei Altdorf."

The detailed linework and shading techniques used in the etching create a highly textured and realistic representation of natural beauty and tranquility.

  • Boats and Figures: The lake features a small boat with two figures, adding a sense of scale and activity to the scene.
  • Title and Text: At the top, there's text in German, "Auf dem Vierwaldstätter-See, bey Altfiaad." which translates to "On the Lake Lucerne, near Altfiaad". The number 3 is in the upper right.
