The image displays a dry, open field in Mandisar, Afghanistan, under a clear blue sky with a slight haze at the horizon. The field is composed of brown soil and contains numerous dessicated plant stalks, many retaining white fibrous material consistent with harvested cotton plants. On the left, an adult male stands facing slightly right, dressed in a light-colored tunic (perahan tunban), dark trousers, and a blue turban covering his head and part of his face. He holds a thin stick or cane in his right hand. Two children stand further into the field to his right. The child on the left is oriented in profile to the left, wearing dark clothing and a grey knitted beanie. The child on the right faces slightly left, also wearing dark clothing and a reddish-brown knitted beanie, with a dark object held in their left hand. In the background, a line of low, light-colored, rectangular buildings constructed from mud or brick extends across the landscape, with a single, slender tree visible among them. The ground features sparse green vegetation in patches. No active interactions are apparent among the individuals.
