This print shows four donkeys digging at the base of a wooden structure with arched supports. The ground is dry and sandy, and the sky is a pale blue. The donkeys look focused, while the background has a few small hills. The title at the bottom, *"Pas engageant pour les autres"* (Unenticing for the Others), hints this might be a funny take on hard work—or laziness. The artist added watercolor later to give it more color. Next, check out watercolor to see how artists use it for extra detail.
