Description

Two men crouch on dry, stony ground stripping maize cobs, and a pile of husks and cobs lies around them. Behind them four children stand or crouch, one in a white dress, one in a patterned dress with a headband, one in a light coat, and a small child in a headscarf. A scrubby tree and a flat, open landscape with a few distant figures fill the background.
