Description

Two men stand close together on a dusty track in front of a dry-stone wall, with a tree and a low building behind them. One wears a long black robe, a tall black cylindrical hat and a full beard, and holds a wooden walking stick. The other wears a light open-necked shirt, belted shorts, knee socks and a felt hat, and holds a pipe in his mouth.
