A horizontally oriented engraving in black ink depicts three figures seated in a landscape. In the foreground, a woman on the left pours water from a jar, a central man rests his head while holding a smoking bowl, and a woman on the right reclines against a tree near a donkey. Behind them, a figure sows seeds in a field. A fortress and mountains occupy the background, with Latin inscriptions below.
