Description

A man in a light shirt, knickerbockers, knee socks and lace-up shoes sits on a rock ledge inside the excavated tomb, holding a notebook and pencil and looking towards the camera. A white cloth cap covers his head. Two folding camp stools stand on the sandy floor, one at each side, and the rock walls frame him in shadow.
