Alfred Westholm shaving outside at Vouni
Description
A man stands on bare ground in a striped housecoat tied at the waist, with shaving lather on his face and one hand raised to his chin. Beside him a white enamel basin sits on a wooden crate, next to a metal bucket. A wooden stool, a low heap of brushwood and trees frame the scene, with low hills on the horizon.

- A man in a striped housecoat tied with a cord stands on gravel ground, his face covered in white shaving lather and a razor raised to his chin, eyes closed. Behind him a second, darker figure sits on a bench beside a trestle table near a heap of stones, with low hills beyond. At left an enamel basin rests on a wooden crate beside a metal bucket, and an olive branch reaches in from the right.
