Composition in black and white. Predominance of quick strokes. It depicts pioneers and indigenous against poorly defined background. On the left, indium kneeling profile to on the left with the on the left arm lying along the body. On the right Girl Scout group: what is ahead, wearing a hat with wide brim and long boots, his on the right arm is bent at chest height and secure with the on the left hand, suggesting being a musket. A little further back, to the right, another pioneer front, with hat on, also wearing long boots, his on the left arm is raised and folded. Suggestion of other figures behind the scouts. Fast, straight and circular traces overlap the figures, mixing them with the background.
