Two young, barefoot, shirtless Black boys are digging in a red dirt field, presumably for farming. The older boy is wearing dark pants with a red waistband and using a long stick to maneuver a rectangular hoe-like tool, digging in the dirt with it. The younger boy is wearing light brown pants and using a similar, though smaller, tool to loosen the soil. The field is marked with rows and has small green plants growing among the red dirt. The background features trees under an overcast sky.
