Description

“Hunters waiting.” [Fortes' Annotation on N.107341.MF]

Two hunters waiting for the brush fire to burn out. In the foreground, one hunter leans against a tree trunk with his back to the camera. He wears an animal skin slung over his left shoulder, which hangs down his back, and a leather? cap. In front of him, partially obscured, stands a dog. To the left of the tree trunk is another hunter, standing in profile. He holds a stick, possibly a spear, at shoulder-height and also wears a leather? cap.
