This drawing shows two figures in a rocky landscape. One person is sitting on the ground, holding a book and looking down. The other stands nearby, holding a bunch of grapes and a staff. The background has hills, trees, and a distant village. The title at the bottom reads *Théocrite*, which might refer to an ancient poet. The artist used a smooth, sketchy style to show light and shadow. Next, check out lithography to see how this print was made.
