The man on the right wears a white-and-brown checked short-sleeved shirt and holds a small hammer and pointed tool while working on a pale figure resting on a wooden block beside his foot.

On the left, an older man with grey hair and glasses, wearing a white shirt and white dhoti with an orange border, holds a chisel and mallet over a wooden block. In the centre, a man in a red-and-white checked shirt and white dhoti works beside a red bucket. On the right, a man in a cream shirt and white dhoti holds a pale carved foot.
