A horizontally oriented etching on cream paper with sparse, brown lines depicts a desert scene. In the foreground, an animal's ribcage rests on the sand. To our left, a person on a camel faces away from us. In the middle ground, a line of smaller camel riders travels toward the right. Thin, undulating lines suggest rolling dunes that recede toward a high horizon, creating a sense of vast, open space.
