A collection "Drawings from Prison" were made between 1951 and 1959 in the prisons of the Penitentiary of Lisbon, where Álvaro Cunhal spent seven years in rigorous isolation, and from the Fort of Peniche, from where he escaped on January 3, 1960. They were first published by the "Avante!" Editions in December 1975 as part of fundraising initiatives for the Portuguese Communist Party.

The composition emphasizes the circular arrangement of the people, symbolizing unity and shared effort. The figures, dressed in simple rural attire, bend down, their postures relaxed yet purposeful, indicating work deeply rooted in tradition and the earth. The use of shading and subtle lines highlights the contours of their forms, creating a sense of solidarity and the intimacy of their shared task. The scene, though tranquil, is imbued with a sense of community, cooperation, and dedication to labor.
