This is a print of people gathered around a large tree at the edge of a body of water. The people are facing away from us, standing or sitting under a large willow tree with long, drooping branches and looking towards the water. One person sits in the thick branches of the tree. The people are depicted in simple, blocky shapes. They all have black skin and wear white shirts with black or black-and-white striped pants. None of them are depicted with visible hair, although one person wears a hat. Two people on the right seem to hold long poles or ropes, and another person carries a bundle of fish. The print is surrounded by a border of off-white paper.
