The image captures a black and white photograph depicting an outdoor living situation. In the foreground, there is a vintage automobile with its door open, revealing various items placed on wooden pallets beside it, such as what appears to be sacks of potatoes or similar produce. A woman is seated near this makeshift table arrangement; she seems engaged in some task involving cloth material.

Behind her, several improvised shelters made from tarps and other materials are erected, suggesting temporary living quarters. These structures appear rudimentary and hastily constructed, indicating a lack of permanent housing facilities.

In the background, there's an open field with more tents or makeshift dwellings spread out across it. A small commercial building labeled "American Gas Service" is visible in the distance, along with other vehicles parked around this area, hinting at some sort of gathering spot for individuals engaged in agricultural labor.

The overall setting gives a strong impression of hardship and transient living conditions, which may be associated with migrant workers or those displaced due to certain circumstances.
