Image is a black-and-white drawing (etching) and depicts a farmer kneeling (in a plowed row) in front of a fifteen puzzle in an impossible to solve configuration (14 and 15 switched), scratching his head in puzzlement, with his straw hat on the ground, his horse and plow abandoned on the left, a fence to the right, with numerous blackbirds and one rabbit visible. The sun is setting in the distance, reinforcing the passage of time. Above the image, the title text reads “The 14-15 Puzzle in Puzzleland”.
