The image depicts the Chouara Tannery, located in Fes el Bali, Fez, Morocco. The scene is an expansive, open-air industrial complex viewed from an elevated vantage point. The central area is dominated by a grid of interconnected masonry pits. In the upper section, numerous rectangular pits contain light-colored, turbid liquids, some with white or light-colored hides submerged or partially visible. Below these, a dense cluster of circular pits, varying in diameter, holds liquids dyed in various hues, including browns, reds, oranges, yellows, and greys, indicative of different processing and dyeing stages. The pits' rims are constructed of brickwork. Approximately eight to ten individuals, primarily men, are engaged in manual labor within the tannery. Several workers are positioned inside or alongside the rectangular pits, manipulating hides. One individual in the mid-ground is bent over a circular pit. Another worker, dressed in a light shirt and dark trousers, walks along a narrow pathway between the pits on the right side. Numerous animal hides are present throughout the complex. Raw or partially processed light-brown hides are prominently draped across a structure in the immediate foreground, partially obscuring the lower-right circular pits. Other hides are submerged in the rectangular pits or stacked in bundles near the circular dyeing pits, some appearing reddish in color. The tannery is enclosed by multi-story, aged ochre-colored buildings with numerous small, rectangular windows. The background reveals a dense, ascending cityscape of similar traditional structures under a partly cloudy blue sky. A small, light green-domed structure is visible on a rooftop in the mid-right background. The scene is brightly illuminated by natural daylight.
