The image is a vintage black-and-white illustration with the title "Aussaat." It depicts a rural scene involving several figures:

  • In the central larger illustration, a man dressed in simple clothing and a hat is striding across a field, scattering seeds from a pouch at his waist, symbolizing sowing or planting seeds in the field.
  • To the right, several children are sitting by a wooden fence, watching the man work. There is an older figure among the children, possibly a grandmother or caretaker.
  • The fence is adorned with various toylike objects and beside it, there is a stone pillar topped with a crucifix, suggesting a religious or memorial element within the setting.
  • In the lower part of the image, there is a smaller decorative inset showing a woman sitting on a stool, possibly reading or sewing, and accompanied by a child, adding a domestic element to the scene.
  • Below the illustrations, a block of German text appears, potentially a lyrical poem or narrative relating to the depicted scene.

The image you've provided appears to be a detailed old illustration or engraving from a book, featuring several figures and a short descriptive text below. The scene is set outdoors and has a pastoral or rural feel to it.

At the top of the image, the word "Aussaat," which is German for "sowing" or "planting seeds," is printed. This likely sets the theme for the illustration.

In the illustration itself, there is a central male figure to the left, dressed in simple peasant clothing of perhaps the 18th or 19th century, who is performing the act of sowing seeds by hand. He is walking and casting seeds onto the plowed field. To the right, there is a group of three children sitting and playing around what looks to be a water pump or well. The boys seem to be engaging with a dog, possibly providing it water from the pump, while the girl observes or waits her turn.

The background includes a bird flying in the sky, a fence, and trees suggesting a farming or countryside landscape.

Below the illustration, there is text in what appears to be a poetic format, written in the German Fraktur script. Fraktur is a type of blackletter typeface associated with German-speaking countries until the 20th century.

Unfortunately, without a closer examination or additional context, I cannot provide an accurate translation of the text or determine the specific source or artist responsible for the work. However, its theme and the accompanying text likely relate to the sowing of seeds, either in a literal or metaphorical sense, and it seems to belong to an old publication, possibly a book of stories, poems, or moral lessons.

The image depicts a rural scene with two figures, a man and a woman, sitting by what appears to be a well or spring. The man is pouring water into the woman's vessel from the water source. A small poem or caption is included below the illustration, but it is difficult to read clearly in this image. The image has an antique or vintage style, with cross-hatched shading and fine linework typical of older prints or etchings.
