The image depicts a vintage black and white scene where one older man is cutting the hair of another seated elderly gentleman who appears to be in distress. The barbering activity takes place outdoors, amidst some wooden materials stacked up against what looks like an old barn or shed with trees visible in the background. Both men are dressed casually; however, their clothes seem worn and dirty which might suggest they work in manual labor as indicated by the caption mentioning "bean pickers." Their garments include a shirt for one man and overalls for the other. The barbering is happening on what appears to be an improvised makeshift chair made out of old fabric or clothing draped across sticks. The overall mood seems somber, indicating perhaps hardship or neglect in their living conditions.
