This sketch shows a small, dark scene inside a framed rectangle. A rider on horseback leads two other people—one walking, one crawling—through rough terrain. The background is stormy, with swirling lines and heavy shadows. Around the main drawing, there are loose, quick sketches of hands, clouds, and a building. The paper looks worn, with smudges and faint marks. The artist signed it in the corner, and the words *"Thomas Le Hardouaye"* appear under the scene. This is made using etching, drypoint, aquatint.
