A 19th-century naturalist scene executed in pen, ink, and wash on wove paper.

The work is signed lower left A Lançon in ink. The verso of the frame carries a handwritten graphite inscription identifying the artist as Auguste André Lançon with the dates 1836-1887. The drawing is presented in a double mat of green and cream tones within a simple gilt-wood frame.
