Description: Graphite, black chalk, pen and brown ink, 198 x 307 mm. Ruled framing lines in brown ink, over chalk lines drawn freehand. The drawing is begun in graphite, with black chalk occurring only in the tree on the far left and in the freehand framing lines. Watermark: Eagle with a crozier on a heart-shaped breastplate (cf. Heawood 1247–1250: Holland). Chain lines: 21 mm.

The original graphite drawing has been reworked in pen and ink, leaving the foreground and the left part unfinished. The completion of the composition seems to be the work of an unskilled amateur, but even the figures drawn in pencil in the centre are awkward in proportions and movement. According to Keyes, the drawing may in part record a lost drawing by Esaias. [Magnusson, Dutch Drawings no. 428]
