The image shows three figures resting at the base of a large tree. One figure is reclining with their head on their arm. Another figure is on their knees, leaning over a hill. Above them, an angel is soaring in the sky. Trees in the background suggest the horizon. The etching features detailed linework, creating textures in the clothing and foliage. The color palette is monochrome, with black and white tones emphasizing contrast.
