The image depicts the Chouara Tannery in Fez, Morocco, a large open-air leather processing facility. The scene is viewed from an elevated perspective, looking down into a central courtyard filled with dozens of circular and rectangular stone vats of varying sizes. These vats contain liquids of different colors, primarily browns, grays, and whites, indicating various stages of tanning and dyeing. Several individuals, identified as tannery workers, are active within the vats. A prominent worker in the mid-ground wears a bright yellow long-sleeved garment and stands amidst a cluster of vats, appearing to manipulate hides. Other workers are visible throughout the tannery floor, attending to different vats. In the lower right foreground, a pile of distinct reddish-pink dyed hides is visible. The tannery is enclosed by multi-story buildings constructed of a light brown or ochre material. The walls of these buildings are extensively covered with numerous animal hides, primarily light tan, hanging to dry. On the left, an upper level of one building features a balcony or viewing platform where multiple individuals, likely tourists, observe the activity below. An external staircase is visible on the right-hand building. The sky above is clear blue with scattered white clouds. The immediate foreground shows a blurred, textured reddish-brown surface, indicating the viewpoint is from a high vantage point.
