Description

A standing man at the left, unclothed, bends forward and reaches toward a second man who sits in a shallow tub or basin on the ground. Tall thin poles stand in the foreground, and a pale cloth hangs from a branch at the right among trees. Bare rock and scattered stones fill the lower part of the view.

Description, scan 2
A man stands unclothed beside a tall, bare tree trunk on the left, leaning toward a second man who sits crouched in a shallow tub on the ground. The seated man is washing his upper body, and a light cloth hangs over a branch on the right. Dense trees and shrubs surround the clearing, with rocks in the foreground.
