This drawing shows a woman holding a baby while riding a donkey. A man walks beside her, and another man hides behind a tree, watching. The sky is light, and the ground has rocks and bushes. The woman on the donkey looks tired but calm. The man behind the tree seems curious, peeking out from the branches. Look up etching to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
