Woodchoppers

A black and white illustration depicting two figures wearing wide-brimmed hats and traditional clothing harvesting agave plants with long-handled tools. The plants are detailed with large leaves and are hanging from the top of the image, creating a dense canopy over the workers. The background is dark, emphasizing the labor-intensive scene. The image includes a signature and edition number at the bottom.
