A young man is seated on a wooden stool at a treadle sewing machine. He holds a small, dark object in his hands, appearing to work on it. He is wearing a striped polo shirt and dark pants. The machine sits on a worn wooden table. A yellow container and red scissors are on the table. A second sewing machine is behind the first, along with fabric scraps. A measuring tape is around his neck. Shoe and fabric scraps are on the floor next to the door.
