A horizontally oriented oil painting depicts five Black men with dark skin tones resting against a white canvas tent foregrounded on the right. Four men wearing dark jackets recline on the ground, while a fifth peers from the opening. To our left, a horse lies near a bucket, and a large barrel sits to our right. Covered wagons and mules occupy the background, where figures become hazier and colors more muted under a pale sky.
