Allegory of the Four Seasons: Spring, pastoral print

A man in a tricorn hat plays a pipe while standing on a rocky outcrop beside a tree, as a seated woman with a basket of flowers rests nearby. Leafy trees frame the pastoral scene, rendered in fine etched and engraved lines in grayscale on laid paper.
