A man wearing a black t-shirt and shorts with a white stripe on the sleeve is kneeling on the ground, holding another person's head and pulling their hair. The person whose hair is being pulled is wearing a striped shirt and patterned pants, and is lying on their back. A whip is visible in the foreground, held by another person who is bending over. A crowd of onlookers is gathered in the background, some of whom appear to be standing and watching the scene. Several large, light green sacks are piled up in the foreground. The ground appears to be dirt and gravel, with some concrete patches. There are buildings in the background, suggesting an outdoor, possibly rural, setting.
