A horizontal print in fine black ink features four engravings in a two-by-two grid, depicting figures in classical drapery within hatched landscapes. In the upper-left, people rest near a flowing spring, while figures to the right stand beside a tall cross. The bottom panels show groups interacting near grain fields and rural structures. Each scene includes Latin text along the bottom, with hatching defining the detailed, pastoral settings.
