The image shows a scene with two figures working near a rocky formation. Wooden planks are nearby, and two small wooden buildings are depicted in the middle. A palisade of logs is visible in the background, along with a line of trees. The artwork is in black and white, with detailed cross-hatching and line work creating texture.
