Claimer, print, A town crier with percussion by a tree. People listening in the background. The print is loose in an album, see page 29., inscription: 'Corn. Dusart. del. Ploos v.

To the left, two figures stand close together, one with a tall pointed hat and the other leaning toward them, their hands near each other. To the right, a smaller figure appears to be moving or climbing near a fence beside the tree. The background contains suggestion of distant spires and soft, leafy tree canopies above, with shaded ground and the tree trunk showing textured bark and a small rectangular patch on it. The drawing uses ink washes and line work with areas of shadow and light creating volume and depth.
