Black and white etching of a shepherd with animals on a path before crumbling stone ruins, with a broken wall at right and clouds above.

Eight Landscapes: Ruins and a Shepherd

An etched landscape shows a shepherd with a staff and two animals on a sandy path before a line of crumbling stone ruins and arches. A broken wall rises at the right edge, while a distant figure walks on the left and clouds fill the sky above the flat, hatched terrain.
