A horizontal landscape etching of a deer hunt set in a wooded clearing framed by tall trees: mounted hunters and packs of running dogs pursue deer, with netting or barriers spread across the foreground and further riders and figures scattered into the deep, hazy background. The sheet is a self-contained printed hunting scene with a visible plate mark and faint inscriptions in the lower margins.
