A vertical photogravure in warm brown tones depicts a Pima woman standing on a dry dirt path, her back to us as she carries a large, conical woven basket. Wooden frame poles extend upward from the basket past her head. She wears a dark, heavy top and a light-colored long skirt. Sparse desert shrubs and distant mountains fill the background under a hazy sky, framing her figure within the expansive, arid landscape.
