This image shows an etching or drawing focused on a pastoral scene. In the foreground to the right, there is a figure, presumably a man, wearing a hat and coat, who is seen from the back, overlooking the scenery, possibly engaging in contemplation or in the act of sketching. He appears to be standing on the riverbank among tall grasses and reeds. In the mid and background, we see a tranquil river or lake that reflects the trees and a small structure on the opposite bank. Beyond the water, the landscape gently slopes upward, featuring clusters of trees, open fields, and a few indistinct buildings or structures in the far distance. The sky above is lightly sketched, suggesting a calm ambiance. There are also some boats visible on the water. On the bottom left, there's a handwritten note, "Copyright 1886, by Mary Nimmo Moran, Dec 27th, to the Bulletin". On the bottom right, there's the signature "M. Nimmo Moran". In the top right corner, there is the annotation "Pl. 45", possibly indicating that this is plate number 45 of a series. The paper appears aged and has a warm tone. The artwork conveys a sense of peacefulness typical of bucolic landscapes.
