Description

A man in a light shirt sits at a small table on a rush-seated chair, holding papers and bending over a pile of documents or money. Five men in caps, headscarves and hats stand close around him and watch. A weathered wooden plank wall fills the left edge, a dark shadow covers the right, and bare ground lies beneath.

Description, scan 2
A man in a light shirt sits at a wooden table outside, leaning over papers and a folded cloth, while about eight men crowd around him. Several wear headcloths, caps or hats, and some stand behind the table. A rough wooden wall fills the left edge and a dark shape fills the right, and the ground is bare earth.
