A horizontally oriented photogravure depicts four Acoma women with medium skin tones on a rocky ledge beside a still pool. To the left, one figure sits while another stands. In the center, two figures in patterned robes stand holding jars. High, layered sandstone cliffs in warm sepia fill the background, reflected in the foreground water. Deep shadows and soft textures characterize this earth-toned composition.
