Description

A boy sits on the edge of a wooden wheelbarrow and a girl with a headscarf and long apron stands beside him, both facing the camera. Behind them are wooden planks stacked on the ground, a second wheelbarrow, a small basket, and a bed of leafy plants. Tall reeds frame the view, with the calm sea and a small boat on the horizon beyond.
