A square-oriented print in black ink on beige paper depicts a construction site. In the foreground, silhouetted figures stoop toward the ground with shovels. Behind them on the left, a large mound of earth rises toward a gridded building frame and slender cranes. Thick, rhythmic lines representing clouds or smoke swirl across the upper right, the scene defined by bold, expressive carving and high-contrast light and shadow.
