This is a black and white engraving depicting a whimsical scene. A person, constructed entirely of swirling, ornate curls and foliage, is depicted leading two animals, also formed from the same intricate, swirling patterns. The person is holding a long, curved staff or whip, also made of the same swirling design. The animals appear to be oxen or bulls, similarly constructed from the swirling patterns, and are pulling a small, simple cart or platform. The scene is set on a slightly raised, grassy mound or hill. The style is highly decorative and fantastical, reminiscent of Baroque or Rococo art. The engraving is signed 'A. de Winter excudit' in the lower left corner and has a small '4' in the lower right corner.
