The image is an etching or engraving that depicts a rustic scene from what appears to be the 18th century or earlier. Three human figures and a few sheep are at the center of this pastoral scene. On the left, a person wearing a broad-brimmed hat leans on what seems to be a staff or walking stick, conversing with another person in the middle who is holding up a garment or blanket. To the right, another figure, presumably male based on the clothing style, is feeding or interacting with a sheep while holding a hat and a small basket or vessel. Behind these figures is a building with a distinctive round tower, topped with what appears to be a conical roof and a weathervane. Trees and shrubbery fill the background. Flying birds can be seen above the building, adding to the idyllic atmosphere. The composition is framed within a decorative border that has a classical architectural feel. Below the main image, there is text in a banner-style that reads "Dans la Pelouse," which could be a title or descriptive phrase translating from French to "In the Lawn" or "On the Grass." At the bottom left corner, the inscription "C.P. Marillier inv." likely indicates the artist who created the original design, Claude-Pierre Marillier. On the bottom right corner, "E. De Ghendt sculp." would be the engraver, possibly Emmanuel de Ghendt, who transferred Marillier's design onto the metal plate for printing.

The image is a detailed black and white engraving titled "Devin du Village." It depicts a pastoral scene with a focus on three central figures. In the foreground, there is a man kneeling with his hat in his hand, gesturing towards a woman standing in front of him. The woman is holding a staff and is dressed in a period costume with a hat. She appears to be listening or responding to the man. Behind her, partially obscured by the building, is another figure, likely a shepherd, leaning on a staff or pole with sheep around them. The scene is set outside, near a rustic building with half-timbering, and there is a round tower with a conical roof in the background surrounded by trees. Birds are flying in the sky above. The intricate details, shading, and textures bring a sense of depth and realism to the scene, making it a picturesque representation of rural life and interaction. The engraving is bordered by decorative lines, and there is a script at the bottom crediting the creators: "C. P. Marillier inv." indicating the inventor or designer, and "E. De Ghendt sculp." indicating the sculptor or engraver.
