A zincograph on yellow paper depicts two women with dark skin tones walking on a path. On our left, one woman stands with her back to us, an arm draped over her companion's shoulder. To our right, a dark tree trunk borders a goat grazing at its roots. Behind them, a third woman stands before rolling hills and textured trees. All three wear long dresses and headwraps, their forms rendered with sketchy, bold outlines.
