A horizontally oriented etching in black ink on beige paper depicts a rustic landscape beneath a turbulent sky. On the left, a stone gateway rises behind several small, thatched buildings. A solitary person moves along a light path in the foreground. Thick diagonal lines slash across the upper right, representing rain. Dense, overlapping cross-hatching creates heavy shadows throughout the clustered trees and sloping terrain.
