Description: Several people gather at the base of a mountain. One person sits down with a book. Two people stand behind them, one wears what seems to be a head covering and a skirt and the other has a hat, trousers, and some sort of tool with a long handle. Two more figures sit in the background, they make hand gestures and they look at each other, as if in conversation. On the right-hand side of the image, there is a mountain. At the base of the mountain, there is a small hole with what appears to be a mouse inside of it.
