The men are sitting on a blanket, with several objects, likely food and drink, spread out before them. The men appear to be conversing and relaxing. The area surrounding the group is mostly sand and dry grass, with a small, rocky outcropping to the left of the group. The tree above the men is a large deciduous tree, with many branches extending outward. Behind the group, the ground is more heavily shaded. The men are wearing traditional Afghan clothing. There is a small, dry riverbed visible in the foreground.
