- Blue image of two men, standing in a farm field, each holding a plant, with a mature tree and a gentle rolling hill in the background. The man in the center of the frame is in profile, facing his companion, he wears a bowler hat and is in his shirtsleeves. The other man wears a jacket and a hat and is facing the camera with his right hand on his hip. Both men are inspecting leafy plants that they hold at eye level. The rows of cultivated plants stretch into the distance and climb over the hill.
