Three coal miners standing close together, facing the camera. They are wearing safety helmets with headlamps and are covered in coal dust. The miner on the left is holding gloves, the one in the middle is smiling slightly, and the one on the right is holding a pair of eyeglasses. The background is dark, highlighting the subjects.
