The image displays an expansive open-air tannery, identified as the Chouara Tannery located within the medina of Fez, Morocco. The foreground and midground are dominated by an intricate arrangement of numerous masonry vats. Approximately twenty-five large, circular vats, primarily in the foreground, are filled with liquids exhibiting a spectrum of colors including deep browns, reds, oranges, and yellows, indicating dyeing processes. Several bundles of processed hides are visible on the edges of these vats. Beyond these, a grid of approximately fifty smaller, rectangular vats contains pale, light-colored liquids, suggesting earlier stages of hide treatment. Several individuals are present within the tannery area. One person stands on the edge of a rectangular vat in the central midground. Another individual is partially visible near a circular vat on the right side. In the upper-left quadrant, a person in an orange garment sits on the edge of a building's roof, with fabric or hides draped nearby. Additional figures are sparsely distributed across distant rooftops. The tannery complex is enclosed by multi-story buildings constructed of aged, ochre-toned plaster or adobe, featuring numerous small, rectangular windows and flat roofs. Hides or textiles are seen drying on the exterior walls and balconies of these structures. A distinct green-domed building is visible on a rooftop in the upper-right. The background reveals a dense, sprawling urban landscape composed of similar traditional buildings, extending up a hillside under a partly cloudy blue sky. A solitary palm tree rises above the structures on the far left.
