Physically together yet worlds apart, the occupants of this public park bench look behind and ahead, but not, it seems, *at* one another. The woman on the right appears to be engaged with someone near her, but her face is revealed only by a slim profile, not enough to indicate the focus of her attention. Bundled in overcoats and gloves, the men seem least aware of the photographer. Walker Evans in turn regarded them less as individuals than as representatives of the human condition.
