A horizontal photogravure depicts a landscape in warm sepia tones where two people tend a fire. Thick white smoke billows from a low mound, filling the center. On our left, a figure draped in a large cloth bends toward the embers. On our right, a person with medium-dark skin tone stands holding a long pole. Sparse, spindly trees and a hazy sky are visible through the smoke in the background.
