A horizontal photogravure in warm sepia depicts two women with medium-light skin on a rocky riverbank. On our left, a woman squats by the water, holding a patterned pottery jar. Standing to our right, the other woman faces her, wearing a dark dress and light-colored leggings. In the background, a mesa sits beneath a cloudy sky. Both women are positioned near the river's edge against a vast landscape.
