The image is a black and white photograph of four African women standing in a field with mountains in the background. They are all wearing traditional clothing and headdresses with large baskets on their heads. The women are standing close together and appear to be posing for the photo. The woman on the left is wearing a headdress with a large basket on top, while the woman in the middle is holding a stick. All four women have tattoos on their bodies and are looking directly at the camera. The field is covered in tall grass and there are a few rocks scattered around. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the image is somber.
