Photograph of portrait of group of masons near a brick wall in a room, ca.1930. To the right, a large group of eight visible masons behind a small wall of bricks pose for the camera. At center, two additional masons are seen sitting on the small mound of bricks. One mason stares at the camera with his arms folded in his lap, while the other man stares off to the left holding a trowel in his hand. In the background, two more masons are visible standing to the left of a rectangular support beam. Each of these men also hold a trowel in their right hands. Most of the men can be seen wearing overalls over their clothing, and many of them wear small caps. A low wall of bricks is visible forming a partial perimeter around the group of masons. In the foreground to the left, a glob of clay on a square platform lies adjacent to a small stack of bricks. In the background, dirty overalls and other pieces of clothing hang from a beam. A stool and numerous pairs of dirty shoes can be seen below the line of clothing.

约1930年拍摄的室内砖墙旁泥瓦匠群体肖像照片。画面右侧，八名清晰可见的泥瓦匠在小型砖垛后方摆姿势留影。画面中央另有两名泥瓦匠坐在小型砖堆上：其中一人双臂交叠放在膝头直视镜头，另一人则手持瓦刀看向画面左侧。背景区域可见另有两名泥瓦匠站在矩形承重梁左侧，二人右手均持有瓦刀。多数泥瓦匠在日常着装外搭配工装背带裤，不少人头戴小帽。一道低矮砖墙将泥瓦匠群体围出了部分活动区域。左侧前景处，方形台面上的一团黏土紧邻一小摞砖块。背景中，脏污的工装及其他衣物挂在横梁上，衣物下方可见一张凳子与多双脏鞋。
