Linoprint of a traditional Egyptian workshop. On the far right, there is a man dressed in an Egyptian gallabia sitting on a couch, next to a small round table, looking forward. All around him are what seems to be trays and vases and other handmade furniture items, all piled up against each other and leaning against each other. There is fabric hanging from the ceiling. On the left, a woman dressed in a black abaya, carrying her child on her shoulders, has her back to the viewer as she is entering the workshop. There is a young boy in a galabiya in front of her, holding a bucket and looking back at her as she comes in. There is a sign with unintelligible Arabic writing on it.
