DescriptionThree male figures stand centrally in the image and dominate the visual plane. The figure on the left is shirtless, wears a hard hat, is carrying a lunch box in his right hand and is covered (hat, skin, pants, shoes) in oil. The middle figure is dressed in a red shirt and blue pants; he is wearing a cap and smoking a pipe. The figure on the right is also shirtless; he wears a soft hat and is covered in oil as the figure on the left. He is holding a yellow blanket draped in his left arm. Behind the figures, both to the left and the right, oil rigs can be seen. On the left two male figures are entering the base of one of the rigs. The sky is filled with smoke or clouds.On View
