River Life Haiti
1928

A black and white print depicting a pastoral scene with human figures and animals. Several people are engaged in various activities across a landscape dotted with rocks and streams. Some are standing or walking, while others are sitting or kneeling on the ground. Animals, including horses and what appear to be goats or sheep, are interspersed among the people. The style of the artwork suggests a primitive or folk art aesthetic. The image has a border, and there are signatures or inscriptions at the bottom.
