The image depicts a black-and-white drawing of a workshop scene. Three men are present, with one standing on the left side, holding a scythe-like tool with a long wooden handle and a curved blade. The man on the right side holds a long plank with both hands; the plank rests on a wooden beam. The man in the background on the left wears a hat and an apron. The background features a roofed structure with a sloping roof and trees. The drawing is signed in the bottom-right corner and includes text in the bottom-left corner. The image has a beige border around it. The overall scene appears to be a woodworking or lumber-related activity.
