A horizontally oriented cliché-verre print in black ink depicts figures harvesting a field. In the foreground right, a dark-skinned figure sits with their head lowered while another figure lies nearby. In the center, a light-skinned man leans forward with a scythe. Small figures work near dense, hatched trees on the left. The vast sky contains horizontal lines and flying birds. Fine, scratchy strokes define textures across the landscape.
