The composition emphasizes the monumentality of the silhouettes, giving the subject a tone that is both social and dramatic, foreshadowing the artist's large mural works. This art print of the preparatory drawing for L'exploitation de l'or faithfully reproduces the raw atmosphere and expressive force of the drawing.
