A horizontally oriented lithograph in muted gray and cream depicts people with medium and dark skin tones. In the foreground, several figures draped in white robes lie across the ground, while a woman and child sit huddled at the right. Behind them, men in turbans and robes stand in the middle ground before a low stone wall and palm tree. Text at the bottom reads, "A GROUP IN THE SLAVE-MARKET IN CAIRO."
