- Description
- This dye transfer print depicts a man standing in a field. He is pictured from the waist up, under a cloud-filled blue sky. He wears a short sleeve button down shirt in a tan color, with dirt and stains across it and a safety pin fastened to the front. He has a brimmed brown hat on his head, with his eyes concealed under its shade. In his proper right hand he holds what appears to be the long handle of a farm implement. He is surrounded by a dirt field partially filled with green plants. In the distance is a small white building.
