Description, scan 2
A girl in a light coat and headscarf leans on a shovel at the edge of a cut in the soil, while a child bends over digging with a spade. A man in a pith helmet and light shirt looks down at the work, with two boys standing beside him holding tools. Behind them the ground spreads into flat, dry country with low hills on the horizon.
