This detailed black and white drawing by Johann Ludwig Ernst Morgenstern depicts a group of travelers crossing a stream. The scene is illuminated by a torch held aloft by a figure in the center of the composition. The scene is likely a depiction of a real-life event, or a genre scene of common life in 18th century Europe. The inclusion of a donkey carrying a bundle suggests the journey is long and the group is traveling through a rural landscape. This drawing is a good example of Morgenstern's skill in capturing realistic details in a simple and powerful way.
