Design for set "Fish Fry" from "Green Pastures"

c. 1935

Illustration of a group of people gathered around a campfire with a pot hanging over the flames. Some individuals are seated at a table with bottles and plates, while others stand or move around the campsite. The scene is depicted with loose brushstrokes and a warm color palette, suggesting a communal outdoor meal or gathering. The edges of the paper are blank, and there are handwritten numbers and marks on the bottom edge.
