Indian barber. In the foreground a barber is shaving the head of a client. Standing on the left a Sepoy, whose uniform is on the ground beside him, is plucking his eyebrows with the aid of tweezers and a mirror. Standing on the right another barber is gossipping, holding the implements of his trade wrapped in a cloth which he carries in front of him.
