A horizontally oriented etching and aquatint depicts five women with light skin tones against a dark, grainy background. They form a circle, clutching a large blanket and tossing a limp figure into the air while a donkey and another person rest inside. On our far left, one woman stands; another is in the right foreground, with three more completing the ring. They wear dresses with dark collars, their bodies leaning as they pull.
