Description

Seven people sit in a row on a pale, flat rock in open, stony country, with low scrub and distant hills behind them. Wicker baskets, a metal bucket, a large jar with handles and several plates with food lie among them, and a heap of dark cloth lies at the left edge. Most of the group look towards the camera.
