A bronze bas-relief sculpture, part of the Monument to the Immigrant in Plaza de la Diversidad Cultural, Ciudad Vieja, Montevideo, Uruguay, depicts a rural family and an ox. The sculpture is mounted against a light-colored, block-constructed stone wall. On the left, a muscular male figure, appearing to be a farmer or laborer, is depicted in profile facing right. He wears a collared shirt, trousers, and boots, and carries a substantial bundle of green foliage or crops over his left shoulder and arm. His right arm is bent at the elbow. In the center, a female figure, dressed in a simple long garment, stands facing the male. Her left hand rests on the male's left shoulder, and her right hand rests lightly on the back of a large ox. To the right, a naked infant is seated astride the ox's back, positioned behind the female figure. The ox, with short horns, faces right. The base of the sculpture features stylized ground with sculpted foliage. The bronze surface exhibits a green patina consistent with age. The background stone wall shows surface weathering and minor plant growth in its crevices.
