Landscape with Three Figures and Birds

A pen and gray wash landscape framed by brown lines. A woman in a long gown carries a basket on the right, with two onlookers behind her, while a large eagle perches on a branch at left. Birds scatter across the foreground, and a distant town lies beneath a hazy sky.

Look closer: A small figure walks along the path in the distant middle field near the haystack.
