This is a sepia-toned etching or print depicting a pastoral landscape scene. On the left of the composition, we see a small castle or fortified structure atop a hill, mostly obscured by trees. Slightly to the right and below this castle, there's another building resembling a church or monastery with a distinct arched doorway and windows, suggesting a style that could be Romanesque or Gothic.

In the foreground on the right, there are more trees, behind which lies a structure with a sizable arched entrance, possibly part of the same complex or nearby buildings.

There are small figures of people and what appear to be sheep dotting the countryside, giving the scene a lively, bucolic touch. The paths and varying elevations in the land are shaded to give the impression of depth and texture, with the artist using hatching and cross-hatching to achieve shading and texture throughout the scene.

The bottom of the image contains handwritten text that reads: "From the Col: of J. Herbert of Mardenberry." This likely indicates that the image is from the collection of a person named J. Herbert, and it could refer to a historical or private collection. The setting depicted might be the Mardenberry locale, although without further context it's not immediately clear where or what Mardenberry refers to.

The image is an intricately detailed sepia-tone drawing that depicts a serene rural landscape. It shows a rolling countryside dominated by two main architectural structures.

In the foreground, there are more trees and bushes, and a well-worn path that seems to lead toward the buildings. A noticeable large tree stands in the center of the composition, drawing the viewer’s eye. A small herd of sheep is grazing beside the path, tended by a shepherd holding a staff. The overall scene is pastoral and tranquil, highlighting the harmony between nature and human habitation.

The artist has used fine, meticulous lines to convey textures and details, giving depth to the landscape. An inscription at the bottom reads, "From the Col. of Robert of Strasbourg," suggesting the drawing might be part of a collection owned by a person named Robert from Strasbourg.
