The image is viewed from an elevated angle, showing people and adobe buildings. The horizon is obscured by the buildings, leaving no visible sky. The style features a combination of delicate and bold brushstrokes, employing a woodcut or linocut textural technique to the figures and buildings. The color palette consists of muted tones of brown, cream, and dark grey. A group of people engage in activities, with two prominent figures in the center holding long objects. Other figures and buildings are depicted with a sense of motion, forming a lively scene against the architectural backdrop.
