This sketchy drawing shows a cow lying down in a field, with a small framed picture inside the scene. The cow looks rough and unfinished, while the framed picture has two people holding hands. The background has faint lines, like a sketch or map, and a few scattered dots that might be stars or bugs. The artist used a mix of heavy and light lines to create different textures. The framed picture inside the picture is a common trick in art to add another layer of meaning. Check out lithography to see how artists use a different process for prints like this.
