Description

A man in a hat, waistcoat and white shirt sits on the edge of an excavated cutting at Marion, resting a drawing board on his knees and glancing toward the camera. Behind him a pit with rock-cut walls and loose stones opens into the soil, with spoil heaps around it. A curved walking stick stands upright in the earth, and two wooden boxes sit on a heap of rubble at right.

Two cardboard boxes rest on a heap of stones to the right, with spoil heaps and a wooden plank beyond.
