This is a drawing of labor in a construction or excavation site. The scene depicts individuals engaged in digging and other manual tasks in front of a large building. The foreground shows people handling shovels and a wheelbarrow, while a group of laborers works in the background, and others are seen standing or bending over. The individuals are dressed in heavy coats and hats. The building in the background is large, modern, and multi-storied, with trees devoid of leaves. The artwork is executed in a monochromatic style with fine detailing, capturing both the figures and the architectural elements under a shadowy sky.
