Description: Three men are working in a field. The one on the far left is resting his foot on his shovel that is deep in the ground and is drinking from a small bottle. The man in the middle is digging into the dirt, its left foot on the shovel as he holds the shovel with both hands. The man to the right is facing with his back to the reader, pressing down on his shovel with his left foot and putting all his upper body weight onto it. In the background, a round-wood cabin lined with logs of wood is there.
