Description

About a dozen people stand in a row on a dirt road beside the rear of an old car with a spare tyre mounted on its back. Two women in coats and hats stand at the left, with men in jackets, waistcoats and white clothing beside them. A large round pot sits on the road near the group, and several bottles stand among the men's boots.
