A linoprint of two Egyptian peasant women, crossing a river on the backs of their cows. They are dressed in the traditional dresses. The one in the foreground is dressed in a white robe with a black sash tied around her waist, and white fabric tied on her head. Her dark hair is showing. She is leaning forward on the cow she is sitting on, looking directly at the viewer and smiling. The cow is also looking at the viewer. Behind her is another woman, dressed in a white galabeya and with white fabric tied around her hair. She is looking to the left, where she and her cow are facing. Her cow is extending its head forward in the effort to carry her.
