A faint, monochrome etching or engraving depicts a landscape with figures within a rectangular border. In the lower-right foreground, a figure clad in a long, heavy robe is shown from behind, holding a long staff or pole that extends upward. To the left, in the middle ground, there is a faint grouping of vertical forms, possibly a crowd of people or a line of soldiers. The background suggests a distant horizon with rolling hills or mountains under a clear sky. A vertical line, likely a paper seam or fold, runs through the left side of the image. The print is highly desaturated, and the bottom of the page is heavily marked by large, brown water stains.
