His straw hat shades his face from the sun. There are several lines of Japanese text on the bottom right. A plant with long drooping branches is behind the man on the right. The man wears white socks with two straps over the top of his foot. The bottom of the image shows gray ground. A plant with long thin leaves grows from the ground behind the man on the left. The man holds his robe closed with his left hand. The right side of the man's kimono is tucked up.
