Black and white illustration of a man and a skeleton, both holding long-handled tools, working the ground. The man has short curly hair and is wearing a loincloth; he is bending down and appears to be tilling the soil. The skeleton, positioned behind him, holds a similar tool. A nude woman sits on a mound on the left; she has long hair and appears to be breastfeeding a baby. A tree trunk and branches are on the right; the background shows a body of water and a few birds. The image is framed by a thin border with a caption written in a foreign language at the top.
