A young male walks across a dry, tilled field, moving from left to right within the frame, in Mandisar, Afghanistan, under a clear, light blue sky. He carries a pickaxe over his right shoulder, the wooden handle extending forward and the metal head positioned behind him. The male wears a dark blue or black shalwar kameez with white or light-colored patterned embroidery on the chest and shoulders, a dark scarf draped around his neck, and a light grey skullcap. His left hand firmly grasps the pickaxe handle, while his right hand is near his mouth. The ground consists of parched, light brown soil with distinct furrows, clumps of earth, and sparse, dried vegetation. A long shadow of the male extends to the left across the foreground. In the mid-distance, a horizontal line of low-lying, light-colored structures, consistent with mud-brick walls or simple buildings, is visible. A solitary, slender tree with light green foliage stands in the far right background.
