A man wearing work clothes and a cap stands with a cigarette in his mouth inside what seems to be an enclosure formed by two barriers of branches that meet at the opening of a wooden container. The barriers come up to his shoulders. The river can be seen in the background along with another barrier of branches extending into the water.
