A horizontally oriented lithograph colored with gouache depicts a sprawling open-pit mine. In the foreground, laborers with light skin tones push wooden wheelbarrows, while a child stands nearby. Countless tiny figures traverse terraced brown slopes that recede toward white buildings and two tall chimneys billowing dark smoke into a hazy sky. Centered at the bottom, the title "SCHARLEY IN OBERSCHLEISIEN" is printed in a decorative box.
