DescriptionTwo women are seated on the grass beneath a tree by the side of the road. Three men stand nearby, wearing dusters and caps. An automobile is parked at the left. Papers are strewn on the ground, as if the women were unwrapping something. Most people appear to be holding something, possibly food. One man holds what appears to be a thermos botttle.
