Español: Ville d'Avray: estanque con barquero, atardecer

Un grabado en tonos marrones suaves muestra un estanque tranquilo al atardecer, con una figura sentada en un pequeño bote a la izquierda y una vaca de pie en la orilla a la derecha. Árboles oscuros enmarcan la escena, y un pueblo lejano y nubes tenues se desvanecen en el cielo pálido.

Português: Ville d'Avray: lagoa com barqueiro, entardecer

Uma gravura em tons castanhos suaves mostra uma lagoa calma ao entardecer, com uma figura sentada em um pequeno barco à esquerda e uma vaca em pé na margem à direita. Árvores escuras emolduram a cena, e uma cidade distante e nuvens tênues se dissolvem no céu pálido.
