The image is a highly detailed black and white engraving. This representation seems to be from an older period, judging by the style and the clothes of the characters depicted. In the foreground, we see a rural scene with various individuals engaged in different activities: on the left, one person is kneeling and planting or farming, while another stands holding a walking stick; at the center, a person is reaching out with his arms as if gesturing toward the landscape or sky; and on the right, a figure carries what appears to be a stick or pole over the shoulder, possibly a traveler. A diverse landscape stretches into the background, with a variety of trees and foliage framing the view. The middle ground shows a village with buildings, fields, and a river running through it. Beyond this, the landscape features undulating hills, with more villages and a prominent castle-like structure atop a rise, suggesting a European setting. In the distance, mountains punctuate the horizon, completing the panoramic vista. The top corners of the image have Latin text "MILITES" on the left and "REQUIESCENTES" on the right, possibly indicating a theme or context related to soldiers resting. The artistic technique displays masterful use of cross-hatching for shading and texture, typical of engraving work from the Renaissance and later periods. Below the image, there is a strip with inscriptions, which seem to continue the theme or possibly indicate the title or attribution, but the specific text is not completely visible in this view.
