A woman with flipped forelock of hair and tiny beret, Mine Okubo , kneels on the ground gathering potatoes as a French man and woman harvest the potatoes with rakes on a farm near Berne, Switzerland before the United States entered World War II. Mine wears a cross-patterned shirt and a floral half apron over pants in the foreground. Two bags of potatoes sit on ground at left. The French couple work behind her at midground, the man's face is covered by his cap. A fence and hill are visible in the background.
