Black-ink etching of a hazy landscape with rolling hills, a distant town, and dark trees on the right under a cloudy sky, with script lettering below.

Aurora, after Claude Lorrain landscape etching

A black-ink etching shows a wide, hazy landscape under a pale, cloud-streaked sky, with rolling hills and a distant town on the left and dense trees on the right. An elegant script inscription runs along the lower margin of the plate beneath the image, and the picture sits on a pale ivory sheet with a wide border.
