This is an etching or engraving depicting a pastoral scene. The image shows a person wearing flowing drapery reclining against a rock in a lush, wooded landscape. A small figure, possibly a child, is seated on the ground near the reclined individual's feet, holding something in their hands. In the foreground, there is a dog resting and various objects that suggest a picnic or outdoor repast, such as a basket and what might be food items. The trees form a canopy above, with the sky and what appears to be a body of water just visible in the background, suggesting a tranquil, natural setting. The style of the drawing suggests that it could be from a classical or mythological narrative, common in artistic depictions from the Renaissance through the Baroque periods. The artist's mark "F B" with a hyphen and the Roman numeral "VI" is visible in the lower-left corner, suggesting this etching is part of a series or a collection.
