lithography print with Oil pastel painting of two African people sitting side by side on a tree trunk. The person closest to the viewer is a woman, looking somewhere in the distance and kneeling on the ground with her knees, wearing nothing by a necklace and a long piece of cloth around her hips. Next to her, there is a man, also dressed in nothing but the loincloth, sitting with one leg beneath him and one leg extended before him, carefully painting patterns on a clay pot. The background is in white oil pastel, and the ground is dark grey.
