Source catalog description
This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.
This dye transfer print depicts a man standing in a field. He is pictured from the waist up, under a cloud-filled blue sky. He wears a short sleeve button down shirt in a tan color, with dirt and stains across it and a safety pin fastened to the front. He has a brimmed brown hat on his head, with his eyes concealed under its shade. In his proper right hand he holds what appears to be the long handle of a farm implement. He is surrounded by a dirt field partially filled with green plants. In the distance is a small white building.
