Three labourers

Three men are outdoors in the open air. The man on the left sits on the ground with his arms wrapped around his drawn-up knees. He wears a hip cloth (veshti, lungi) rolled up above the knees; his upper body is bare. Protruding above the waistband of the hip cloth is something: likely the wooden handle of a knife. On his head, with short wavy hair, he wears a large, worn felt hat (toppiya) pushed back. The standing man in the middle is drawn straight on. He also wears a knee-length hip cloth (veshti, lungi), double-folded and rolled up at the waist; the object protruding from his right side is likely also the handle of a knife. His upper body is bare. Under his left arm, he clutches a felt hat (toppiya). The man standing on the right is dressed in a knee-length hip cloth (veshti, lungi), rolled up and secured at the waist with hanging flaps; his upper body is bare. A (bandage) is wrapped above his right ankle. He wears an oversized felt hat (toppiya) on his head.
