Two young men work on a concrete wall at a building site in dry, open land with small white posts and a tree in the background. The older worker wears a white button-up shirt and grey trousers and holds a shallow tray of wet mortar while smoothing it onto the top of the wall with his gloved hand. The younger worker in a blue t-shirt and grey shorts stands beside him watching, with a bare midsection and a thin necklace. Wooden planks lean at the right edge. No ritual, deity, or a person appears in the scene.
