Description

Two workers are in a trench cut into the slope: a crouching figure in a hat and striped shirt on the left, and a figure in a light apron and dark head covering bent over on the right, both holding long tools. The trench wall is faced with stones and earth, and a third person in a hat stands above on the spoil heap at the upper right, among scrubby grass and loose rubble.
