Description

Three men sit side by side on the lip of a trench, with a steep earth bank rising behind them on the left. The man in the middle wears a peaked cap and a light shirt and rests a pick on the ground in front of him. The two men either side wear caps and striped jackets and hold spades upright, and low hills and scrub show in the background.

Three men sit side by side against the earth face of a trench, each holding a digging tool: two spades and a pickaxe with its head resting on the ground. The man in the centre wears a cap and a white shirt and has a moustache; the two on either side wear plaid shirts and caps. Behind them a dry, stony slope rises under a pale sky.
