A horizontally oriented photogravure in muted brown tones depicts ten women with light skin tones in a dark, wooded landscape. On the left, women lean together in a dense cluster. In the center, a woman in a light dress reaches her arm toward the right. Some figures sit while others stand, their long dresses rendered with heavy shadows and strong contrast. Dark trees rise behind them, framing the ten figures in a hazy, dramatic light.
