Description

A man in a hat and work clothes lies on his side in the foreground, head propped on his arm, beside a shallow trench in sandy soil. Two other men rest in the background, one lying at the left edge and one reclining near a wooden A-frame. A white conical tent and a heap of stones stand to the right, with grassland and the sea beyond.
