A horizontally oriented black ink drypoint on off-white paper depicts ten slender people with light skin tones in a sparse landscape. Fine, delicate lines define the forms. On our left, a woman holds a baby aloft above two toddlers. Centered, a man in a pointed hat watches a youth balancing on a ball near a seated woman and kneeling figure. To the right, a figure carries a bundle. A grazing horse and trees appear behind.
