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.

Set against a rural backdrop, this detailed composition illustrates a group of people engaged in building a structure, possibly a home or a barn. Men, women, and children are all participating in various tasks, from lifting materials to passing along tools, symbolizing the power of cooperation and shared labor. The natural surroundings, with bare trees and rolling hills, frame the scene, emphasizing the connection between human activity and the environment. The drawing’s flowing lines and dynamic figures convey a sense of movement and purpose.
