A horizontally oriented black and white lithograph depicts a stone worker in a quarry. In the foreground, a man sits with his back to us, wearing a dark cap and jacket while raising a mallet. To the left, massive gray stone blocks stack beneath leaning trees with dense, leafy branches. Billowing, sketched clouds fill the sky above a low, light horizon and a rocky ground of pale gray.
