This is a painting of a caravan journeying under a luminous sun. The artwork depicts a procession of figures, some on horseback and others walking alongside animals. The scene is rendered in a monochromatic palette of browns and blacks. The figures appear elongated and stylized, emphasizing movement and a sense of purpose. The background is minimal. The large, bright circle in the upper right is bordered by dark horizontal lines.
