The artwork depicts four statues arranged in a row. The first two statues are of male figures, both sitting with one leg raised. The first figure gestures upward with an arm, while the second looks to the side with a cloth draped over its lap. The third statue features a female figure kneeling with a large basket of fruit and flowers balanced on her head. The fourth statue also shows a kneeling female figure, with a flat object or dish on her head. The statues are rendered in a monochromatic blue tone, created using a cyanotype process, giving them a uniform appearance.
