A horizontally oriented print in sepia ink depicts rural laborers in a landscape. On our left, two men with light skin tones dig a ditch beneath a massive, leaning tree; one crouches while the other bends over. A shovel and pickaxe lie nearby. In the center, a person stands with their back turned, wearing a shawl and striped skirt. To the right, a figure mends a hedge. Sheep graze on hills beneath a bright cloud.
