A horizontally oriented zincograph on vibrant yellow paper features six women with dark skin tones in a coastal landscape. In the foreground, two women sit on the ground, one facing away. Behind them, three women walk toward the right balancing baskets on their heads past trees laden with fruit. To the left, another woman stands near dark water beneath a swirling sky. Cursive text is inscribed in the bottom left corner.
