Description

A woman in a long dress and headscarf stands on the left while a man in a hat swings a long-handled tool on the right, throwing up a cloud of dust between them. The ground is flat, dry and gravelly, with low bushes and a few trees along the background under a pale sky. The motion has blurred the figures and the dust.

Description, scan 2
A woman in a long dress and headscarf stands at the left, and a man in a hat at the right swings a long-handled tool, throwing up a blurred cloud of dust and gravel. The ground is flat and stony, with a low mound of loose earth in the middle. Bushes and a few trees line the field behind them under a pale, empty sky.
