A horizontal line block print depicts, across a pale pink landscape, nude figures with light skin tones. On the left, a brown donkey wears a floral garland. Some wear green wreaths; one raises a tambourine. Long blue shadows stretch toward the lower left. In the distant background to the right, a small wagon appears. A blue border with reddish-brown vine leaves and yellow grapes frames the scene, with pink thistles in the lower right.
