Black and white artwork, rectangular with rough edges. Dark background with lighter gray streaks. A group of four people on right side in the foreground. The people are hunched over. Three appear to be carrying objects on their heads. The fourth person stands behind them with their back turned. The people's features are indistinguishable. The people are on a shoreline. Rough brush strokes in background indicate moving water. A bright area on the water to the left. A dark cloudy sky above. White border around artwork. Gray writing on border at bottom.
