About this work

An engraved oval composition shows a young boy seated in a wooded clearing, holding a folded letter and pointing toward the distance. A sheep and a lamb rest at his left, a spaniel-like dog lies at his feet beside a basket, and a bagpipe lies on the cloth behind him. The scene is set within a decorative frame with trailing ivy.
