A young male subject is positioned slightly left of center in a dry, open field in Mandisar, Afghanistan. He is attired in a grey cap, a dark tunic, dark trousers, and dark slip-on shoes, with a dark, grid-patterned shawl draped over his left shoulder. He leans forward, his forearms crossed over the top of a wooden-handled spade, which is vertically inserted into the ground. His head rests on his forearms, and his gaze is directed towards the right side of the frame. The immediate ground consists of dry, uneven soil with scattered small stones and sparse remnants of dried vegetation. In the mid-ground, a low, light-colored wall extends horizontally across the scene. Beyond this wall, indistinct structures and a distant solar panel array are visible under a clear, hazy blue sky.
