A man wearing a white turban and a white shirt over a long dark robe is seated on a bank in Sard-E 'olya, Afghanistan, with his legs crossed, watching a group of sheep drink from the river in front of him. The river winds through the parched landscape, with a low earthen bank on the far side. The bank is covered in sparse vegetation. The man is seated on the bank of the river on the opposite side of the sheep. Behind the man, the river is wide and calm, reflecting the clear blue sky. Behind the sheep, a small, dry, cracked area of ground stretches back toward the river. Beyond the river, a low earthen embankment rises slightly higher than the river bank and is covered in short green vegetation. The embankment is broken by small, dry, cracked areas of ground. Beyond the embankment, a low earthen wall appears to be the edge of a low hill. The wall is made of dirt and is worn and crumbling. The hill is covered in sparse vegetation and is brown and dusty. In the distance, large, dry, brown, barren mountains reach up into the hazy sky, stretching across the entire background of the image. The sky is a pale blue with a slight haze. The sun is shining, and the light is bright, casting a warm glow on the scene.
