Cottage Near Mud Flats, With Distant Village in the Evening

A thatched cottage with a heavy timber wall fills the left foreground, beside a bare, windswept tree. Flat marshland recedes under a pale sky toward a distant village with a church tower and windmills. Fine hatched lines define the etching.
