This engraving depicts two men in a forest setting, one kneeling and the other sitting on a rock. The kneeling figure wears a hat and holds a staff, while the seated man has a fur-lined hat and grasps a knife. In the background, a third figure walks away from the scene. The engraving features a detailed landscape with trees, rocks, and a distant hill. The artist's use of cross-hatching creates a sense of texture and depth in the image.
