This detailed pen and ink drawing depicts a group of workers laboring under the weight of their burdens. They are carrying heavy loads, perhaps sacks of grain or ore, against a backdrop of a towering mountain and a starry night sky. The artist has skillfully used lines and shading to convey the physical exertion and determination of the workers. The dark tones and the stark contrast between the figures and the background create a sense of hardship and the relentless nature of their work.
