Linoprint of a scene of four peasant women sitting around a round table, eating food. The largest woman, in the foreground, is wearing a white galabeya, earrings, and has a short scarf tied around her head. She is extending her right arm to take something from the bowl on the table. The woman behind her is also behind the oven, and is extending her left arm to take something from the bowl. She is wearing a dark, long scarf on her head. The woman next to her, on her right, is dressed in a dark abaya and scarf, and is smiling, her cheek resting on her hands, as she watches the others eating. The last person, seemingly a child, is in the foreground, wearing a patterned galabeya with a handkerchief tied around her head, looking up as if asking about something.
