A horizontally oriented lithograph depicts eight men with medium-light skin tones paving a city street. On the left, one man shovels steaming asphalt from a truck while others shovel the dark pile below. In the center and right, men use long-handled tools to smooth the hot surface. City buildings and parked cars line the background. Textured lines and dark shadows define the figures in this gritty black-and-white scene.
