A single adult male is depicted standing in an arid outdoor environment identified as a brick-making facility in Nakhonay, Afghanistan. The man, positioned slightly left of center and facing the camera, has a full dark beard and mustache, wears a light-colored tunic, and a white skullcap. He holds a metal shovel in his right hand, the scoop resting on the rim of a large, dark metal bin filled with black, irregular lumps of coal. A second, similar bin containing coal is visible further back to the right. The ground is light brown, disturbed soil. In the background, numerous stacks of light-colored, unfired bricks are arranged in rows across the extensive open landscape. To the right, several dark, conical molds or weights are visible on the ground. The sky is hazy and light, with distant mountains defining the horizon.
