A vertically oriented print in sketchy black ink strokes on tan paper depicts a courtyard scene. Turkeys forage across the foreground and around a large stone vessel. In the center, a woman in a long dress stands facing right. To her left, a staircase ascends toward a doorway where small figures gather. Fine, loose lines suggest rustic architecture and trailing vines that frame the upper edge of the composition.
