This print shows two adults and two children, all with dark skin and short, curly hair. On the left is a man standing upright with a basket of fish on his head, holding a large fish. He is mostly nude except for a thin cloth around his waist. Next to him is a woman who also has a basket on her head filled with fruits and vegetables. She is smoking a pipe and holding a stick that appears to have some wool-like fibers on it. One child is hanging from a sling on her back, and another child is standing at her side. The woman has a longer cloth wrapped around her waist, but her torso is bare. In the background, there are hills, a small structure, and two small people in the distance on the left. The print is surrounded by a border of blank paper, and there is a line of text at the bottom.
