Work Description: 
An abstracted, simplified figure kneels in a blurry gray/brown setting. He wears overalls and holds what might be a piece of white fabric or sheaf of wheat. The figure's face is shown in profile as he looks to his proper left and his hands are oversized and distorted. He has bony shoulders and his ribs are visible beneath his overalls suggesting his impoverished living conditions.
