A horizontal photogravure in sepia tones depicts tiered adobe dwellings with flat roofs and textured walls. Three long wooden ladders lean against the structures. A figure wrapped in dark cloth sits on a central roof, while another stands below to our left. In a dirt courtyard to our right, a child in light clothes stands near the walls. Deep shadows define boxy doorways, while grainy gradients suggest a vast, empty landscape beyond.
