Description

Three women in headscarves and long dresses stand on the edge of an excavated trench, one holding a rope above a bucket at her feet. A fourth woman in a light headscarf stands at the left, partly cut off by the frame. Beyond them lies a flat plain with low shrubs and a distant range of hills, where two more figures are working.
