A monochromatic illustration in black ink. The scene depicts, barely discernible against the gray of the night, the silhouette—seen from behind—of an old prospector riding slowly and heavily upon a gaunt, aged, and battered nag; the animal wanders with its head hung low across the North American desert. The man appears thin, weak, and exhausted—nearly devoid of the strength to continue—leaning far forward and barely able to remain in his saddle. It is a moonlit night, with crags and mountains visible in the surroundings. There is almost no vegetation, save for the occasional small cactus and a few insignificant shrubs. The night is illuminated by the light of the moon.
