Goats being milked outside a farm and dogs setting off on a hunt; representing spring. Etching, 17--, after F.G. Bassano the younger.

An etching of a rural spring scene: a kneeling woman milks a goat into a pail while another man holds a bucket, a child sits by a basket, and hounds wait near a thatched hut. Dense cross-hatching models the figures and animals against distant hills, with a French verse caption printed beneath.

Un aguafuerte de una escena campestre de primavera: una mujer arrodillada ordeña una cabra en un balde mientras otro hombre sostiene un recipiente, un niño sentado junto a una canasta y perros reunidos cerca de una cabaña con techo de paja. El rayado denso modela figuras y animales frente a colinas lejanas, con una leyenda en verso francés impresa abajo.
