The image shows two distinct scenes separated horizontally. In the top half, a person in a turban sits near an ox harnessed to a cart. A large building stands in the background, and small figures and horse riders are visible. In the bottom half, a camel covered in textiles is featured, along with a person carrying an animal. Another scene shows a woman with a covered head balancing a basket on her head, accompanied by a child. The artwork is detailed, using fine lines to create texture and depth in a monochromatic palette of gray shades.
