Alt Text

A man with a wicker basket slung over his shoulder stands with one leg propped up on the bottom rung of a ladder that leans against a large fruit tree, looking toward the camera. Another man is seen to the left, bending down over his own basket in front of a different ladder and tree. The scene is outdoors in what looks like an orchard or grove setting.
