This image shows an etching or an engraving with a pastoral scene. At the center, there’s a winding path leading through a forested landscape. To the left side of the path, a group of goats can be seen with some lying on the ground and others standing amidst the bushes and vegetation. On the right side of the path, a goat herder appears to be walking with a stick in hand.

The trees on both sides are tall and dense with foliage, suggesting a secluded, natural setting. Above the trees, the sky is filled with soft clouds. The style of the art suggests it could be from an older period, possibly the 17th or 18th century, known for such pastoral and bucolic scenes. The light and shadow effects are rendered through fine lines and cross-hatching, characteristic of traditional printmaking techniques.

The bottom of the image includes some text or markings, possible signatures or annotations but are too small to read clearly. The artwork is highly detailed and exhibits a serene and tranquil mood.
