Description

A large group of men, women and children sits and reclines on dry grass in a hilly, scrubby landscape. A pine tree stands at the right edge and a smaller tree at left-centre, with low hills and bushes behind them. Several people wear straw hats or headscarves, and a light cloth hangs on the tree trunk at right.

A round loaf of bread and a few small items lie on the ground in front of them. Behind them stand shrubs and a pine tree with a cloth hanging on its trunk, and bare hills rise in the distance.
