Description

Men and women in hats, shirts and long skirts work in and around excavation trenches, with spoil heaps of loose earth beside them. A large wicker basket hangs from a branch at the upper left, and a folding stool with canvas sits in the foreground. Behind them are cultivated fields and a range of low hills.

Description, scan 2
A group of about a dozen people work around a trench, some bent over the cut and others standing on the spoil heaps, several wearing hats and light shirts. A woven basket hangs at top left and a folding stool stands in the foreground beside buckets. Fields, an orchard and low hills fill the background under a pale sky.
