Miners toil diligently, their figures etched with precision and detail, as they navigate through narrow passages and tunnels. The industriousness is palpable as horses, donkeys, and mules assist in transporting heavy barrels filled with precious salt. Wieliczka emerges as a vibrant mining town through this artwork. Its significance as a major salt-producing region is evident from the inscription that reads "Vue des travaux scuterrains dans les mines de sel de Wieliska, en Gallicie".
