A horizontally oriented copper plate depicts a quarry landscape in splotches of warm brownish-orange. Dark etched lines define a rocky foreground with sparse bushes in the lower half. In the middle ground, spindly derricks rise into the upper third above deep pits where minute figures stand. Two faint vertical lines score the plate. Mottled dark spots and an uneven patina cover the surface, creating an aged, atmospheric scene across the metallic ground.
