Outdoors on a bare reddish-brown dirt field under a heavy grey overcast sky, with scrubby bushes and a large dark tree at right.

Behind him, a group walks across the field: most wear white dhoti-style clothing with orange shawls, one figure in a bright orange robe carries an orange umbrella, and another carries a dark umbrella.
