A monochromatic engraving of a village outside of Rome. In the foreground are cows drinking and resting on the banks of a river. The river opens up to the right with many sailboats on the water. To the left, a knoll of trees acts to lure one's eye to the village church and rooftops beyond. Reminds one of John Constable's work.
