This image is a detailed engraving depicting a rural scene. In the foreground, on the right side, there is a man wearing a hat and carrying a yoke, engaged in a conversation with a woman holding a small vessel or bowl. Behind them, a thatched-roof cottage with visible timber framing takes up a significant portion of the scene. A broken wheel leans against the front of the cottage, suggesting disrepair or ongoing work.
The roof of the cottage appears worn and uneven, with a couple of ducks comfortably sitting atop it. There are large holes visible in the thatch, and a brick chimney extends from the far right side. On the left side of the roof, a cockerel stands on a wooden beam protruding from the gable end.
A tall, leafy tree dominates the left side of the image, and there are smaller trees and stumps scattered around, indicating a wooded area or that some trees have been recently cut down. Underneath the main tree, gardening tools like a wheelbarrow and what might be gardening hoes are left unattended, further adding to the sense of rural life and agricultural activities.
In the background, we can see more cottages and a windmill, suggesting a small rural village. The sky is filled with clouds, providing a sense of depth and atmosphere to the scene.
At the bottom of the image, there is text written in a script that appears to be Latin, attributed to Raimondi, Maturino, and Luca recently.

This image is a detailed and intricate black and white etching depicting a rural scene, likely from the 16th or 17th century. The central focus is on an old, dilapidated thatched-roof building that appears to be a barn or similar structure. The construction is crude, with wooden beams and makeshift repairs evident.
In the foreground, two figures are seen near the entrance of the building. One of them is pointing towards something outside of the frame while the other figure, who appears to be a woman, clings to the first figure, suggesting either a conversation or some form of guidance or protection.
Surrounding the building are various rural elements, such as a wheelbarrow, farm tools, and vegetation, which contribute to the pastoral atmosphere. Large, leafy plants and wildflowers are depicted in the lower part of the image, adding to the detail and texture of the scene.
In the background, tall, wind-blown trees are visible, adding to the sense of place and atmosphere. Birds can be seen flying around the structure, enhancing the rustic and lively feel of the setting. Additionally, other thatched roofs of similar buildings are visible in the distance, suggesting a small village or hamlet.
The etching includes text in Latin at the bottom, indicating that it might be referencing a specific story, proverb, or historical event. The overall impression is one of a detailed portrayal of rural life in a bygone era, rich with texture and storytelling through its visual elements.
